Take in Mary Pat Maracle’s textured photo encaustics of detailed broadleaves and Kristen Palm’s vivid\, representational abstract trees and landscapes. Step back to experience Palm’s bold colors and shapes that evoke our tall sylvan relatives in acrylic\, then step closer to observe the blankets of palpable wax\, layered intricately by Maracle. Though both artists depict trees in different ways – sometimes playful and loud\, other times ghostly with an underlying structure of branches and twigs – each style of work celebrates their own connection to the trees that surround us. And visit the website to reserve your admission. \n  \nSeason runs through June 16. \nShare this:\n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n More\n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n Reddit\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n Threads\n \n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp\n \n Share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window)\n Nextdoor\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://cclocalnews.org/event/art-toward-the-trees/ LOCATION:Minnesota Landscape Arboretum\, 3675 Arboretum Dr\, Chaska\, 55318\, 55318\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts and Crafts,Nature and Outdoors ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://cclocalnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/image-30.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260508T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260508T080000 DTSTAMP:20260318T153300Z CREATED:20260318T153300Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260318T153300Z UID:10003729-1778227200-1778227200@cclocalnews.org SUMMARY:Plant Sale DESCRIPTION:Shop this amazing selection of plants chosen by Arboretum horticulture experts at this annual sale featuring a wide selection of annuals\, perennials\, fruits\, vegetables\, herbs\, and trees.
