Tree Davis is dedicated to ehhancing and expanding urban forest. Their volunteers have been planting and caring for trees in Davis for over 17 years. Over the past four years, ArtisTree, their annual silent auction has become their major source of fundraising for TreeDavis.
The Pre-Valentine's Day event will benefit Tree Davis and local aritst as guests enjoy wine, appetizers and a silent auction of artwork related to trees. The proceeds go to Tree Davis, a nonprofit tree foundation to help plant new trees in Davis this year.
The event will feature artwork from dozens of local artists including Davis resident Jeremy Lipkowitz, an amateur photographer and research assistant in evoluation and ecology at UC Davis. He grew up in the redwoods in Santa Cruz and decided to participate because of his love of photographing trees.
Fairfield artist Janet Manalo and poet Suzanne Bruce felt a similar intrigue with trees and decided to enter their ekphrastic artwork "Shrouded by Fog/Gratitude" combined piece, an acrylic painting with the poem integrated in the painting.
ArtisTree tickets are $25 in advance of $50 at the door. To purchase tickets, contact TreeDavis at ruth@treedavis.org or 530-758-7337.
