A quartet of our crack Collaboratory Leadership have taken a day from their Summer vacation to help with this week's Innovation Adventures activity session. The project? Cutting leather keychains that the IA kids will get to make and take home!
Thanks guys!

First set of the evening from Laura Cantrell. Simply brilliant and beguiling, Laura's voice sounds so good, especially in the acoustics of our Main Gallery.
Add to that the sterling playing of Jimmy Ryan, Jeremy Chatzky, Mark Spencer, and Josh Kantor, and... oh, what a night!
