Arbor Ardor: Make your own forest tomorrow

Junker Make art, create forest. Make your own large mixed-media tree sculpture at the Arbor Ardor event, happening at the Santa Monica Museum of Art tomorrow. Your tree sculpture will be part of a larger collaborative piece that will serve as an "artistic illustration of what can happen when you put trees in an area," according to Asuka Hisa, SMMoA Director of Education.

When: Sat., April 5, 1 pm - 4 pm
Where:
Bergamot Station G1, 2525 Michigan Ave., Santa Monica
Cost:
  $15 non-members; $10 SMMoA members

All ages welcome! Assistants will be on hand to help realize your tree project. The afternoon will also be peppered with presentations from three green groups:

  • Tree Planting Essentials, by TreePeople, 1 pm
  • How to Make a Junker Garden, by Farmlab, 2 pm (top photo: Farmlab's Junker Car)
  • Sustainability Ideas and Strategies, by the City of Santa Monica Environmental Programs Division, 3 pm

RSVP's requested but not required: Call Hisa at (310) 586-6488 x118, or email asuka.hisa@smmoa.org. Arbor Ardor's part of SMMoA's Cause for Creativity, an ongoing series of workshops that combine art making with social activism.
