Events › I am the Tree, the Tree is Me Exhibit – Opening Reception

Based on a project undertaken by The Touchstone Center for Children, the I am the Tree, the Tree is Me: Playing and Knowing, Imagining and Becoming, the Nature we are exhibit celebrates the art and poetry by children in a New York City public school, as they discover and express their wondrous relationship to the natural world. Their artwork, as well as the writings of Richard Lewis, founder and director of The Touchstone Center, and the plant photography of Minneapolis-based Touchstone artist Lilly Crawford, in turn invite each of us to consider our own connection to plants. Hands-on activities will be available to help capture thoughts and images stirred by this inspiring and varied exhibit. Sponsor: Friends of the Hennepin County Library.

The I am the Tree, the Tree is Me exhibit will be on display April 1-May 29 in Cargill Gallery on the second floor of Minneapolis Central Library.
