Patriot’s Day Memorial Reception and Final Reveal:
Sunday, Sept. 11th, 2:00-5:00 PM
Open Door is reflecting on and remembering the 10th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks by inviting everyone to contribute to a very important memorial art installation/event. In addition to featuring 9/11 inspired artwork, Lamentations, created by the nationally recognized, award-winning, digital artist Deborah Krikun, we will also be transforming our entire gallery into a large-scale, interactive piece of art inspired by the events of September 11th, 2001. There are several ways you, your friends, your school/students, your organization and your family can participate, benefit and contribute to this important memorial event.
As part of collaborative installation, we have decided to represent the 2,753 individuals who died as a result of the attacks by creating a paper origami crane to symbolize each of them. We will need everyone to contribute to make this ambitious goal a reality. We are asking everyone to make at least one crane for this project and pass this invitation to everyone you know. Click
here for detailed instructions on how to fold an origami crane. Everyone is welcome to visit Open Door from now until September 11th, any time Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM to make a crane. You can also make one (or many) and mail them to us. We are located at 1050 Goodale Blvd., Grandview, OH 43212. Your crane can be a simple white piece of paper or as colorful and creative as you would like. Please don’t hesitate to participate.
Make one now!!!
If you are interested in utilizing this as an educational and creative opportunity for a group of students or individuals from your school or organization, please give us a call at 614-486-4919 to schedule a time. We look forward to hearing from you!
