Jill Katzenberger, executive director of Boulder’s new Junkyard Social Club, points to an old school bus at her right. Although it’s gutted and its tires are sinking into the ground, Katzenberger says it will soon become a lush tea lounge with carpets and pillows.
“We like to play with juxtapositions,” she says of the Junkyard, a rebel museum, adventure playground and cafe that welcomes growth through healthy risk and imagination, inspiring childlike wonder for people of all ages.
The founders have been conceptualizing the space for a number of years and building its structures for the past twelve months. They’re currently in the midst of a crowdfunding campaign, with hopes of launching by the end of the summer.
