Dead Tree Art Commissioned for Chicago Parks
Dead or dying trees will provide a source of organic material for local artists participating in the Chicago Tree Project, a partnership between Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago Park District and the Chicago Sculpture Exhibit (CSE). The project commissions local artists to turn dead or dying trees that are infested with Emerald Ash Borer or other bugs and diseases into living public art.
