A smaller exhibit for the Children’s Gift to Norway has been designed, and is easy to set up. ArtOrg wishes to travel the project to as many places as possible, before it leaves on the trip to Norway. This smaller exhibit is called the “Lion Show”.

The Lion Show includes a small portion of the Children’s Gift to Norway print (about 1/25 the size of the large work) and this can be separately hung to demonstrate how the larger work has been constructed. We also include other interpretive materials for a complete presentation, and can also give a presentation on the project. The trunk is also shown with the actual CGTN print carried inside.

We would like to exhibit the Lion Show on its trip from Minnesota to the east coast, where the crate will be loaded into a ship or plane for the last leg of its journey. We are also considering a trip to the west coast to exhibit the project in the states of Washington, Oregon, California, and more.
