Baltimore: The Urban Forest Project
Sponsoring Organization: The Urban Forest Project
Exhibitions dates: Through June 27
Closing celebration at MICA campus: June 26
MICA Closing exhibitions: June 26 to July 4
The project aligns 200 artists, designers and college students, 150+ K-12 students, and 100+ businesses to produce a visual story based on the image of a tree to increase Baltimore City's awareness of the environment and greening. Banners will lead visitors to Druid Hill Park, Clifton Park, Wyman Park Dell, Herring Run Park, Patterson Park and Carroll Park, for installations and day-long events. After the Project closes, the designer, artist and college student banners will be recycled into tote bags and sold as original works of functional art. The K-12 student banners will be made into book covers and donated to Baltimore City schools.
