‘TWO TREES’ in fort collins
417 W. Magnolia, Fort Collins, CO (970) 416-2737 The Lincoln Center in Fort Collins, CO celebrates the lives of two Ash trees that once stood on its property, with the exhibit Two Trees, thru June 8. The century-old trees were removed as part of a construction project in 2010, and local artists were invited to submit proposals to utilize the wood to create art objects. The submissions were reviewed by nationally-recognized wood artists David Nittmann and Trent Bosch, and 22 projects were selected. The resulting work was debuted at the Center in April. The pieces utilized original branches, trunks, and even the sawdust to create everything from figurative sculptures, to functional and fine art vessels, to tables and chairs, paper for poetry, woodcuts, and even a game to play in the gallery. These pieces are being sold, through a Silent Auction, to benefit arts and tree planting projects. The auction closes June 7.
