THE CRITTER CAF

CRITTER_CAFE.jpg

The Critter Café is a pretend play food truck "pulled" by a vintage garden tractor, with picnic-style seating and a small stage for impromptu performances. It was designed and built for the 2021-22 Fortlandia Exhibit at The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, TX. The Critter Café will be on display for public play dates through January 31st. Special thanks to Kate Painter (design assistant), Keith Whitsel (dad and installation/roofing help), and Khai Tran (graphic design for signage).
