Closing Reception of “A Closer Look at Trees: From Old-Growth to Our Urban Forest”

Join us for the closing reception of A Closer Look at Trees: From Old-Growth to Our Urban Forest. Since June of this year, local artist Kelly Slater and participants in Kelly’s tree art workshops at the Lynn Museum/LynnArts have exhibited their work depicting both old-growth trees and the trees of our local urban forest. Works include experimental drawings of twigs and cones, trace monotypes of trees, artist’s books, and woodblock prints using non-toxic, plant-derived inks.

The closing reception will include a short artists’ talk and a chance to ask questions of participating artists. The talk will begin at 4 pm.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Lynn Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

Additional support is provided through a Sustaining Practice Grant awarded to Kelly Slater by the Collective Futures Fund.
