Erika Nelson, an artist from Lucas, Kan., drives the World's Largest Collection of the World's Smallest Versions of the World's Largest Things, her mobile art museum.
She has made tiny copies, for example, of the World's Largest Ball of Twine, which is down the road in Cawker City, and the World's Largest Can of Fruit Cocktail, which is in Sunnyvale, Calif.
She calls her mobile museum The World's Largest Collection of the World's Smallest Versions of the World's Largest Things.
But this year she may not be able to travel far. Kansas, which has one of the country's smallest state arts budgets, has decided to shrink it even further, to zero.
"I think it's a sad day for Kansas," said Ms. Nelson who lost a $2,000 state grant that had helped underwrite her van's trips to colleges and county fairs.
