The Three Pigs opens May 24


Cheekwood unveils its summer exhibition for 2008 on Saturday, May 24th.

A family-friendly affair, Happily Ever After features eight interactive outdoor installations inspired by classic children's tales such as Three Billy Goats Gruff and Rumpelstiltskin. All were created by teams of local artists and designers, who bring their own sensibilities to each scenario.

For instance, Andee Rudloff, Don Evans and six other artists pay tribute to the Three Little Pigs by offering visitors a wolf's-eye view of the porcine protagonists. Happily Ever After remains on view at Cheekwood, 1200 Forrest Park Drive, through Sept. 7. For hours and information on gate fees (which include free admission for children on Saturdays, starting May 31), visit www.cheekwood.org or call 356-8000.
