Takoma Park Showcases Tree Art

Check out the reCYCLE walking tour.

From June to October, taking a stroll through Old Takoma will be more like an art tour than shopping experience.

The reCYCLE The Art of Tree Project public art exhibit, sponsored by the Old Takoma Business Association, will be installed June 2. The sidewalks will be filled with sculptures made from re-purposed items by local artists.

Additional tree artwork is also on exhibit and available for sale at ArtSpring Community Art Store as a stop on the tour.
