Join us for a hands-on community art project at the Community Pop-Up Gallery at the Galleries at LynnArts from July 1st  through July 19th, 2025 as we co-create a life-sized Banyan Tree made entirely from recycled and repurposed paper.

We invite artists, makers, families, students, and neighbors to stop by, drop off clean paper recyclables, and spend a few moments contributing to the tree. No experience is needed—just your creativity and a willingness to connect.

What You Can Do:

• Bring clean paper items like newspaper, packing paper, magazines, cardboard, or paper bags.
  
  

• Visit during open hours to twist, fold, or shape paper as part of the tree’s growth.
  
  

• Come alone or with a group—everyone is welcome!
  
  

The completed tree will be displayed in the Pop-Up Gallery throughout July as a tribute to unity, resilience, and the power of collaboration.

Let’s build something beautiful—together.
