Lenore Lyons is the founder of The Key Idea®. This large-scale community engagement project invites folks from 1 - 100+ to respond to the same prompt with the same art materials. Using a key for inspiration, adults and children are invited to tell their story… and they do. People of all ages are inspired to write about their big dreams as they select a key to draw. The Key Idea will showcase the diversity of social customs and similarities of life experiences by gathering written and oral stories from people of all ages and cultures. Visit the website and see how your group or community can showcase optimism.
