    Visit

    Appropriate for: All Ages

    Where the Light Gets In is a public art installation featuring LED tubes mounted on trees marked for removal at impending construction sites. The lights, positioned to appear as if piercing the heart of each tree, create a symbolic death ritual, allowing the community to honor the trees and reflect on changing landscapes. This art installation is on view at the Northeast corner of Trowbridge and S. Harrison Roads, and will be illumatinated daily April 1‒30 from dusk to dawn.
