Arbor day has now come and gone. But we hope you had as much fun as we did enjoying the trees of the world. On Arbor Day SHUC proudly participated in the 5th annual, family-friendly event celebrating Pittsburgh’s first public arboretum.
Arbor day Celebration
Since, this day is about are trees what better way to celebrate than making art focusing on those trees by creating art. The art being created at this event took inspiration from artists such as Bob Ross, Klimt, Mondrian, and Taki Katei.
Many of our community members came out to support the festivities. We were so impressed with all of our young artists and seeing all the beautiful trees that everyone made in support of this arbor day celebration.
Thank you to the Friends of Mellon Park, all the volunteers, tabling participants, Ale Gray Sandoval, our very talented tree artists, and everyone who helped make this event successful! Lastly, thank you to Brian Lee and the Allderdice band for the fantastic tunes that brought great energy and made the event more fun!
