Possibilitarian Garden's "Full Sensory Elixir Experience" as part of the Elixir Social at West Side Market on June 23, 2012.
SPACES's artist in resident, Alison Pebworth, was in town with her traveling cross-country art exhibition, Beautiful Possibility www.beautifulpossibilitytour.com. Inspired by the 19th century American Traveling Show, Pebworth's hand-painted posters used the elaborate graphics of Wild West show posters to re-tell American history.
At stops across the country, Pebworth has been surveying people on their thoughts about "Americanitis," a curious 19th century nervous condition resulting from rapid modernization. While in Cleveland, Pebworth partnered with urban farmers, including Possibilitarian Garden, to make an array of special "Cleveland Elixirs" for Americanitis. Possibilitarian Garden brought their "Full Sensory Elixir Experience."

The Full Sensory Elixir Experience!
We had fresh nasturtium and rose flowers to eat! & a delicious elixir that included some of our Homestead Kombucha & mulberry juice and a strong herbal brew.
With petals on your tongue, and sipping the elixir, people entered the Booth
for the Full Sensory Elixir Experience
All made from plants, flowers, and herbs grown at the Possibilitarian Garden!
How does the Americanitis feel now?
