The Volunteers

There are many thanks to be given to those who contributed to this Sea-to-Fremont story. It must begin with the community of Fremont, without whom any of this would be possible.

The Greater Fremont Community​

Fremont is a neighborhood that thrives on creativity, community, and collaboration. The support and enthusiasm of the community have been instrumental in bringing my love of the creative arts to life. This community is filled with artists, makers, and dreamers who have inspired and supported me throughout this project. It is filled with people who love Fremont. This project has been our own love letter back to each of you. Thank you.

The Fremont Arts Council​

From the first invitation to the final installation, the Fremont Arts Council has been a steadfast supporter of this project. Their dedication to public art and community engagement has made so much great art possible. They provided opportunities for the community to engage with the project, and their support has been invaluable. They are a jewel of an organization filled with gold-plated human beings, so to speak. Thank all of you.

Refurbishing Crew​

  • Bobby, a project patron and bicycle mechanic looking to bring the lobster joy to Fremont.

  • Mark, an experienced artist and engineer serving as chief lobster veterinarian, ensuring its carapace was in top shape.

  • Ricardo, an aerospace engineer who rebuilt the control arms and cockpit arrangement, and advised on the puppetry.

Special Thanks​

  • Brooke for devoting finances, time, and real passion for this beast of a tricycle. So glad to get to work with you on this project!

  • The True Misschiff crew who were so generous with their time and expertise, and eagerness to play with the lobster idea. They are truly a gift to the neighborhood.

  • David for being my good friend connection to the Arts Council and who got me involved with the parade in previous years.
