MANCHESTER, NH – The community got together on a beautiful fall afternoon Sunday to help kick-off The Blue Trees installation at the Currier Museum of Art. Artist Konstantin Dimopoulos, along with community volunteers, are transforming nearly 100 area trees to a striking shade of blue using an environmentally safe coloring. The Blue Trees installation was created to help promote awareness of global deforestation.
The community event featured art-making, live music, food trucks, and poetry. The Manchester Bookmobile was on hand with free books for the family and there was face painting for the kids. Attendees were also able to participate in the creation of the installation by coloring trees.
The installation is expected to remain until spring of 2019 as the trees slowly return to their natural color. For more information on The Blue Trees installation, contact the Currier Museum of Art at (603) 669-6144 or visit http://currier.org.
