STORYBOOK GARDEN

storybook garden

The Storybook Farm Community Garden creates a place of nature and serenity for all involved in the therapeutic horseback riding facility from riders and their caregivers, to trainers and volunteers, to staff, faculty and the many giving supporters. The garden features raised beds of herbs, vegetables, flowers and fruit, places to rest and relax, and night lighting for the annual derby or evening gatherings. Pizza oven coming soon!

TUSKEGEE EVENING MARKET, COMMUNITY KITCHEN & REVITALIZATION PLAN

Design thinking and creative place-making are terms and approaches that get extra thick and savory in rural situations. The Farmers Market represents the agricultural traditions of more than a century of self-sufficient Black Farmers. We added the Thursday Evening Market to highlight young entrepreneurs and the delicious tastes of Tuskegee. Mobile Studio is building a Co-op Community Kitchen to add value to the local food economy from field to feastival. Our work in partnership with Mayor Tony Haygood, the Macon County Food Pantry and the Tusk-Mac Community Development Corporation, and Alabama State Council on the Arts to improve food security and regional economic development opportunities is situated within a long-term strategic plan for sustainable community growth and revitalization.

The entry sculpture for The Dakota is more than just a glorified street sign. Designed by Mobile Studio artists, the sculpture incorporates multiple medias (lights, metals, concrete, vegetation, etc.) to enhance the development entrance.

MOBILE DRAWING STUDIO 

Mt Vernon
The very idea for Mobile Studio originated from one wooden drawing contraption. This movable drawing Studio, hand built and managed, is capable of being pitched just about anywhere. It has seen many locations throughout the region and sparked inspiration all around.
