Urban Trees Exhibition

Urban Trees. Harbor Drive Promenade.

I think it’s so great when cities commission art to adorn their streets. It brings life and culture to an otherwise gray environment. In this case, the Port of San Diego (www.portofsandiego.org/public-art/) commissioned a unique take on a tree. A series of 30 sculptures in planters are exhibited from Hawthorne Street to the Seaport Village. Outdoor gallery displays such as this are fantastic in a place where the weather is so fine. 


Apparently, this is the sixth installment of such an exhibition, and previous artworks can be found in homes and corporate offices. Not only does the Port of San Diego's site have a map of the location of all the artworks, but it also has the price of each sculpture for purchase. I suppose in 10 years, if the sequels continue, San Diego will become the "city of trees."
