for those readers in the baltimore area, have you seen the beautiful new banners around town?  thanks to the urban forest project for giving us these lovely pieces of public art.  i smile everytime i spy one that i haven’t seen before.

here is an excerpt from their website:

The project brings together more than 350 LOCAL artists, designers, college students, K-12 students and area businesses to create awareness for making Baltimore more sustainable. Each participant was asked to design a banner based on the sustainability of a tree. The results are remarkable and you can now see them all over the city!

to see the banners live, an exhibition map is available here

at the end of this project, the banners will be recycled into totes ($120).  all proceeds will benefit the baltimore city department of recreation and parks tree baltimore campaign.
