Join us at the Scollay Square Gallery on the third floor of Boston City Hall for the opening reception of Learning with Trees, an exhibition guest curated by Martina Tanga in collaboration with Tree Boston.

Showcased in two locations—Boston City Hall and HallSpace in Dorchester—this exhibition presents the work of fourteen New England-based artists who center trees as collaborators and teachers in their practice. Here in City Hall, photographer Bruce Myren, painter Joel Janowitz, and the collaborative just practice (Amanda Ugorji and Sophie Weston Chien) consider the urban tree canopy and how the trees among our cities are rooted, living neighbors. They invite us to explore the relationship between our local built space and the trees that inhabit it.

Learn more about the intersection’s safety conditions, see updates to the current design concept, and share your input with the project team. Your feedback will help shape future safety improvements!
