Tu Bishvat Art Exhibit
Upside Down is looking to create an art exhibition inspired by the celebration of the Jewish holiday of Tu Bishvat, also known as the “new year of trees.”
And [the trees] call again, “It’s simple,” they say,
“and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine.”
“When I am among the trees” by Mary Oliver
Trees have always held an alluring yet constant presence to society. Since the beginning of mankind, the beauty of trees have captured artists, philosophers, scientists, and travelers, drawing them in with an ancient wisdom of life, resilience, and growth. Through this exhibition, Upside Down invites artists to reflect on the many layers of meanings that trees hold within our collective memory and imagination.
All selected entries will be displayed in the Upside Down gallery in Los Angeles for the months of February and March, with an opening reception at Upside Down's expense.
