Amazing Space, Places...Exhibit Re-Imagines Tree Houses Now at the Arboretum
Tree house exhibit redefines creative spaces in and among the trees. Children, adult, family outdoor activity all at the Arboretum
Start seeing treehouses in a whole new light. The "Amazing Spaces, Places and Escapes: Re-imagining Treehouses" summer exhibit captures the whimsy, artistic fancy, interpretation and "wild" points of view in 12 outdoor structures or sculptures. Expect multi-dimensional, sometimes upside down or underground, but this is not your childhood treehouse memory. The re-imaginings of local artists, architects, builders and hobbyists present a tree experience and dimensions in places and spaces at the Arboretum. Find the names of each installation, materials used and Artist Design Statements here.
Explore Three-Mile Drive and discover a treehouse world-including natural trees among the oldest on the grounds. Among the people-powered creations: variations of gigantic birdhouses, a "Who Tree Grove," "Oculus" framing tree and sky, "In the Tall Grass" listening to the wind through metal slats, an "Underground Fortress," "Land Lover's Tree House," "Double Canopy," "Leaf House," and more.
