A couple of years ago, Tao and I were out for our usual park walk and came across a tree cut down and being ground down to nothing. It sparked an idea in Tao – instead of letting it turn to dust, why not transform it, so that people could touch and discuss it as a work of art? To give that majestic tree a chance to live a second life, connecting people. Tao and I worked hard to create and submit an unsolicited proposal for consideration.
Fast forward to now, and that thought is on the verge of becoming real. We’re working with Bushnell Park Conservancy and could use your support. bit.ly/TreeAsArt
There’s a matching grant from Sustainable CT that doubles the funding, but only if they hit the target by December 15. If you’re inspired to see a tree reborn as a piece of art, swing by and chip in if you can. Every little bit helps. Thank you.
