The TreeHugger Project in the Southwest Garden Neighborhood

The Southwest Garden Neighborhood Association (SWGNA) is inviting the public to join them on Friday, April 23 at 6:00 p.m. to unveil “Critical Mass – Midnight Ramble” at the corner of Shaw and Vandeventer. This public art installation will feature two TreeHugger figures with their bicycles at their side.

Tree Hugger Project

The TreeHugger Project is an ongoing work of Environmental Art designed to help people rediscover their relationship with nature. All the art is is made from twigs, branches, sticks, vines, and other natural materials. The art is typically lasts 3 to 5 years and disintegrate over time as the materials break down.

The artists behind the works, Agnieszka Gradzik and Wiktor Szostalo, are internationally recognized artists that have had their works installed in several U.S. cities as well as in Austria, Poland and Denmark.  They were commissioned for the 2008 and 2009 U.N. climate Change Conferences, in Poznan, Poland and Copenhagen, Denmark to install art.
