"Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth." —Herman Hesse

A CELEBRATION OF TREES is an ecological multi-media art exhibition created to educate and expand thought and consciousness about the world’s vast network of trees–a critical resource to humanity’s survival. For 300 million years, these species have helped stabilize and improve environmental conditions for life on our planet and today are an essential solution to global warming. Raising awareness of the devastating consequences of deforestation and the threats faced to endangered ancient trees and forests, the exhibition will showcase the beauty and mystery of trees while inspiring viewers to think more critically about how to protect them. Featuring powerful stories from around the world told through photography, painting, sculpture, and film, the exhibition will also include important messages from the world’s Indigenous people–the original guardians of the forest.
