Directions:  Continue walking into the Banana Factory Courtyard. The next stop will be a tall, winding sculpture next to trees and a set of picnic tables.  Title: Joyful Experience Artist: Susan Small Medium: Steel Date Created: 2002 Location: 25 W. 3rd Street Joyful Experience is an ode to joy art-making brings to all who create, engage with, and appreciate art. It is an exploration in the  exploration of oneself and creating one's own path.  The sculpture was submitted by Susan Small for the Banana Factory's first outdoor sculpture competition in 2002. Although she did not win the competition, Small was  encouraged to secure funding to make the sculpture a reality. The Puffin Foundation supported the purchase of supplies and hardware to create the sculpture and the Skrivanek Family donated the money for the fabrication of the stainless steel armature in honor of Catherine and Gustave Skrivanek, who had been dedicated MusikFest volunteers. As part of the sculpture, one thousand rings were made with the help of family, friends, and fellow artists.
