Last month, I went to the IX Art Park in Charlottesville and it was pretty fantastic.
The 17 acre arts playground opened in May of 2014 after raising over $20,000 on Kickstarter. The goal seems to be to inspire any and all creativity, with plans for adding more art, public gardens, and community kitchens to the already impressive collection.

| There was so much to see! At first, I was a little overwhelmed, but I took a deep breath and got a grip. |
 |
| I went inside this little stick fort. It had lights and seats inside and I bet it's pretty neat at night. |
 |
| This mural covered in plants is so beautiful! |
 |
| This place was so inspiring. |
 |
| The Tinkersmiths Makerspace |
 |
| I saw on O Wonderful, Wonderful's blog that this thing has a colorful patchwork awning! I was already smitten with this whimsical rolling tea party but that makes it even better. |
 |
| The Love Butt - 14 ft tall and 1600 lbs, driven across the country by comedian Kurt Braunohler as part of a TV pilot |
 |
| I'd read about Before I Die... walls before and was really excited to see one! |
 |
| It rained the morning I was there, so the only entry you can see clearly is mine. |
 |
| My favorite fancy internet meme dog was there! |
 |
| This is my mom! She really loved the tiny library. |
 |
| I have no idea what this neat thing is, but I like it. |
