Teen Tree Summit & Exhibition

Save the date! 📅

We’re putting down roots at our FIRST EVER Youth Tree Summit and Sustainable Clothing Swap.

Join Canopy Crew and learn how to leaf your mark! 🌳🍁🍃

The summit will consist of student presentations, a keynote panel, refreshments, and a community clothing swap.👚🔄👖

With the help of students from the Wentworth Institute of Technology and Lesley University, The Foundry will be transformed into an art exhibit featuring the beauty and importance of our shared tree canopy.

We will be joined by a panel of esteemed guests and ecology experts. The panel will be made up of: Dr. Bill Moomaw from the Fletcher School @ Tufts, Dr. Vanessa Boukili ecologist @ the City of Somerville, and Sage Carbone, the Community Programs Director @ the Fenway CDC. We appreciate each of these exceptional panelists for their time and we are excited to join them in conversation.

We will also be featuring the works of the renowned György Kepes, showcasing some of his curated works. These avant-garde images were most recently shown at The Tate Liverpool, and The Cantor Arts Center. We're extremely appreciative of the Kepes Estate for allowing us to display György's suspended black/white microscopic views of roots, leaves, and bark to the general public. One of his Untitled works from 1938 can be seen at the top of this invitation.

This event is free and open to the public with a suggested donation of $20 for adult attendees.

More information about the event and a detailed agenda will be posted in April.

Save the date and your gently used clothes! We hope to see you there! 🔥🤪
