BLUE TREES

The Blue Trees is an international award winning public art installation which brings environmental consciousness and social action together through community participation. Pigmenting trees blue, a colour not naturally associated with trees, raises social consciousness about the role of trees as the lungs of the world.

 

GET INVOLVED

Help The Blue Trees artist, Konstantin Dimopoulos, pigment over 80 trees that will be planted throughout Park Royal.  To celebrate Simons’ 175 anniversary, the first 175 participants to register will receive a commemorative t-shirt and a potted Blue Tree sapling to take home.

 

Please note that this event will be photographed and video recorded for use on social media and the Vancouver Biennale Website.
