The Urban Forest Project is a series of unprecedented outdoor exhibitions taking root in cities around the world. This unique environment, public arts, and educational initiative called on artists, designers and students in each location to employ the idea or form of the tree to make a powerful visual statement on banners that are displayed throughout the community. The tree is a metaphor for sustainability and in that spirit, the banners at the close of each exhibition were recycled into tote bags and auctioned off to raise money for local environmental and urban forestry initiatives.
