Konstantin Dimopoulos: The Blue Trees

The Currier Museum of Art has commissioned artist Konstantin Dimopoulos to create an environmental community art project, The Blue Trees. With the help of community volunteers, Dimopoulos will temporarily transform nearly 100 trees at the museum and in nearby parks by coloring trees with an environmentally safe pigment in a striking ultramarine. The installation aims to stimulate awareness and discussion of global deforestation, engage the community in art activity and dialogue, and forge a connection between the museum and downtown. The Blue Trees will remain blue for six to nine months before gradually reverting to their natural state.

Stay tuned for more information on how you can be involved.
