Earth Day this Saturday in Winter Park...10am-2pm

When did this five-year-old art student turn into a young man?  I am working with ArtReach Orlando, the city of Winter Park, and the Multifaith Education Project to create an Earth Day installation on Park Avenue in Winter Park on Saturday, April 20th from 10-2. 

On Tuesday and again today  I joined Jewish, Christian, and Moslem students and their families to do some prep work for the big event and ran into former students who had miraculously grown-up. Before I even arrived they had collected and prepared 1400 bottles! We painted them in advance for Saturday's celebration and students learned the process so they can help teach the public how to cut and glitter the blossoms. 

In my tradition, the Tree of Life has leaves for the healing of the nations. I am so honored to get to take part in this interfaith collaborative project which adds a layer of meaning to my tree project. There will be four trees, one for each school that participated and one from ArtReach Orlando, that will bloom on Saturday and then be on display in various places in the city. Stop by and see me and make a blossom!

Thank you Sargent Art and M Jacobs and Sons for again donating supplies. (Please 'like' them on facebook to thank them for me!)
