ARTbuilds is a student-driven design program that includes conceptualization, design execution, and building implementation. With the guidance and leadership of artist-in-residence, Armando Gutierrez G., teams from Austin High School, Patrick Henry High School and Twin Cities Academy design and build large-scale architectural sculptures out of General Mills, Cheerios Boxes, and cans of Green Giant, Old El Paso and Progresso Soup on the Festival grounds during the 2008 Festival week. Projects will be based on school content areas (math, architecture, history, art, design) and may be unique to one subject area or cross-curricular. All food will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank upon completion of the project.

Ordway Center is pleased to be working with architects Marie Parish and Choy Leow on the 2008 ARTbuilds project
