Also on view as a part of this exhibition will be a grove of wishing trees, uniquely crafted by local artists, with the intention of engaging the community in an opportunity to help create a leaf to add to the trees, sharing wishes, hopes or dreams, and helping to shape the vision for this new space and for Auburn!

Fall Exhibition: "*Wishing Trees: **A Community Art Project*"
Exhibition dates: *through January 2024
*Artists: *Greg Bartol, Steve Nagode, Steve Ray, Anita Schuller & Frank Whylie*

Wishing Tree

Starting in summer 2017, the City of Auburn began a community art project called the “Wishing Tree.” The wishing tree ritual has multiple sources, among which is an Armenian tradition dating back to pre-Christian times. Participants would write a hope, dream, wish or desire on pieces of cloth or paper and tie them to the tree. Wishing trees have been found all over the world in places like Glasgow, Hong Kong, Finland, New York and San Francisco.

For Auburn’s Wishing Trees, the community has been welcomed to draw and write wishes on leaves that are being displayed from metal trees as a work of collaborative community art. The goal of this project is to bring people together and create a work of public art that expresses the uniqueness and diversity of our growing community. Our hope is that each unique leaf can celebrate the wish and character of each individual participant, as well as collectively representing the beauty, wishes, and unity of our community.

This grove of beautiful metal Wishing Trees, created for Auburn’s inaugural exhibition at the new Postmark Center for the Arts, were created by the following talented local artists: Greg Bartol, Steve Nagode, Steve Ray, Anita Schuller, and Frank Whylie
