I do not know who this lady is that claims to be one of the creators of Maxie or what her role might have been, but my father is the artist who created "Maxie - World's Largest Goose". His name is David Jackson and he was an artist in Kansas City, MO. We have created a Facebook page for Maxie, facebook.com/worldslargestgoose . Here is the description we have on the page: Kansas City artist, David C. Jackson, graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1973 with a degree in sculpture. Among his works of art, he was known for creating “Maxie”, the world’s largest goose – a 40-foot tall steel and fiberglass statue with a 65-foot wingspan, commissioned by the small town of Sumner, Missouri, in 1974 to commemorate their status as the “Wild Goose Capitol of the World”. “Maxie” is named after Branta Canadensis Maxima, the scientific name for Giant Canada Geese. <br /><br />David Jackson passed away in 2013 and his three daughters are now creating a non-profit foundation to provide funds to help restore and preserve Maxie for generations to come. It is our hope that this Facebook page will encourage others to share their experiences with Maxie.Debbie Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704278606109594395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2088372767729905372.post-38743570116957551922017-09-16T21:54:11.364-05:002017-09-16T21:54:11.364-05:00Something doesn't add up here. 124418 = (2 × ...Something doesn't add up here. 124418 = (2 × 7 × 8887).

The Arts will survive no matter what, but state and/or gov. funding ensures that it is valued as the cultural resource that it is, as a part of the social fabric. The programs provided by state and national programs makes the Arts available to the underserved, the underfunded, the masses, taking it out of the reserve of the wealthy.<br /><br />When we only have private or corporate sponsored art, the artists and arts organizations (especially small ones that benefitted most from the KAC programming, who usually don't have the corporate or private funding connections)suffer. The programs that did exist enabled those organizations and artists to create programming that supplemented learning (often filling in where school budgets have been cut), programs focusing on building community with at-risk populations, giving underserved communities access to artworks and performances that would otherwise be out of reach. <br /><br />I don't see many private foundations or corporations that have that sort of goal or scope in their funding of projects. Yes, there are some, (Thank you Kohler!), but it's a whole 'nother ball game.<br /><br />And, that doesn't even take in to account the matching monies lost to the state (a fiscally unsound decision by anyone's reckoning!!)World's Largest Things, Inc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00779728946426643908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2088372767729905372.post-51468911510335178232011-07-31T14:04:18.145-05:002011-07-31T14:04:18.145-05:00I like the arts to flourish, but I am also fiscall...I like the arts to flourish, but I am also fiscally conservative. I have worked in the arts for nearly 30 years (building pipe organs) and outside of the church customer's non-profit status I don't think the government did any direct funding. Also, with the Kohler Foundation (congrats on their work on "Eden" BTW) and similar organizations stepping to the plate I think the artistic world will do just fine without being beholden to the government.Marlin Mackleyhttp://www.studio4-17.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2088372767729905372.post-75248298946431482972011-05-21T02:01:11.460-05:002011-05-21T02:01:11.460-05:00Love it!

People like you are perfect people for talk shows, because you know your subject well and have the enthusiasm that makes for great TV viewing.<br /><br /> Your traveling show & art car are truly a great American roadside attraction. Hopefully you can make it out to Arizona to see "The Thing?" and visit Art Car World too.<br /><br /> Congrats on this brilliant national TV feature! I hope this plants a seed for the new year, that it grows into something that is, well... the world's largest roadside attraction.<br /><br /> Think big, but keep it small,<br /> HunterHunterMannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03740645895114327352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2088372767729905372.post-62714240886461820352010-12-23T15:42:36.435-06:002010-12-23T15:42:36.435-06:00Well done, Ericka!
