Information

We're building a Venice themed full scale bicycle propelled flying Carousel for Centennial Park. Until the 1950's Venice was renown as "Coney Island of the Pacific," owing to its fantastic amusement rides. These included a beautiful Dentzel Carousel on the Abbot Kinney Pier.

Lead Artist, Robin Murez, is hand carving the wooden animals and other objects the old fashioned way. Sponsors adopt and participate in the selection, naming and design of each creature. Each is related to the colorful stories of Venice. These may include a Tongva Turtle, a Rocket Ship honoring Ray Bradbury, a Camel, an Ostrich... and more. Other renown Venice artists, will bring their unique styles to paint and carve the rounding boards, medalions and other elaborate and fanciful carousel decorations.

See the VENICE FLYING CAROUSEL website for more info, pictures and to participate.
