In the wake of Harvey our community worked together to aid neighbors and strangers who were victims of the floods. To commemorate and honor those who did so, and those who continue on, WAL is inviting artists, non-profits, and the public to help create a Singing Tree mural. This large work will join 52 others around the world in an ever growing Singing Tree Forest, the brainchild of artist Laurie Marshall, celebrating the human spirit of meeting challenges and over-coming devastation. Each work is unique to its community and concerns. Our working title is The Singing Tree of Compassionate Community. For information on how to join us or to become a sponsor please email me at lp313combs54@hotmail.com, and sign up for the Woodlands Art League newsletter at www.woodlandsartleague.org. You need not be a member or even an artist to participate!
