After all has been said and done – Qeeology 2.5 can easily be touted as a huge success! With more than 200 customs on display – several hundred attendees and the first small Qee exhibit of its kind – the people of Lincoln, Nebraska were given an opportunity to see amazing and original creations from across the globe in one of the best settings possible – MARZ martini bar!
The evening was set up as part of Lincoln’s First Friday Art Walks and even with mother nature working against the city (with winds and low temps) the citizens stepped out and into the world of Qee. All ages were invited to attend to see the 140+ customs from professional artists, designers and customizers from the designer toy genre – but also 60 Qee customs created by local 8th grade art students ages 13 and 14 from Park Middle School.
All of the customs from the show will be added to the online Qee Gallery (which will put the gallery total over the 800 pc mark) and most of the pieces will be included in other Qee exhibits being hosted across the country throughout 2010 celebrating Toy2R’s 15th Anniversary.
Toy2R USA would like to thank the following for making this show a reality and most of all – one of the best exhibits of the year:
