The Leo at the Utah Arts Festival

It's been a long, arduous process filled with caffeine, close calls and some very late nights. And now the finished product is up inside the building.

We'll be open from 3 to 9 p.m. starting today through Sunday (festival admission required). Be sure to stop by to see one of our performing groups, too! Another Language will be performing Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 7 p.m., and Movement Forum will be performing Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 4 p.m.

I want to thank the dozens of volunteers, family and friends who folding thousands of origami star boxes. We've been folding in earnest for about three weeks, and just finished the last star boxes last night in time to lay out the final portion of our wall. I enjoyed stapling together the wall -- reliving the hours spent folding the pieces, as well as seeing the donated paper from Infinite Scale Design Group, Axiom Design Collective, Willow Canyon Elementary School, Pentad Properties and The Leo office itself! This has truly been a community project!

Another giant "thank you" goes to the volunteer installation crew and the late nights fueled by sugar, caffeine and cheap pizza -- you all were champs! And the final "thank you" goes to Chris Henderson, our volunteer graphic designer who offered hours of high quality work -- he's the brains behind the wall engineering, dot graphics and general cool factor of the entire installation. Thanks, Chris!
