Start: 2025-04-25T18:00:00-05:00
Location: Warren Park Chicago Park District

Join us on Arbor Day (April 25, 2025) for the next iteration of the What is a Tree Project by John-Michael Korpal. We are gathering at a Mother Tree in the northeast corner of Warren Park to observe, interact, personify, and engage with the arboreal inhabitants of the park. Together we will take a sunset stroll, with refreshments and discussion at John-Michael’s neighboring studio following the outdoor event.
John-Michael Korpal creates inter-sensory works exploring the visceral shared space between art and the viewer. Korpal has exhibited throughout the Midwest, with work featured at the Grunwald Gallery of Art at the Kinsey Institute, Governor’s State University, Hyde Park Art Center, and elsewhere. Korpal has completed the Visual Art Certificate Program from Graham School-University of Chicago, and participated in the Center Program at Hyde Park Art Center. Korpal is a member of the Rogers Park Art Alliance, Chicago Calligraphy Collective, West Ridge Artists. For more info, please visit johnmichaelkorpal.com.
