Rooted In Art, Grounded in Community

Join UC Green for Rooted in Art, Grounded in Community, our annual nature-based art exhibition and fundraiser celebrating the deep connections between art, trees, and community care.

This special evening features artwork inspired by nature, neighborhood greening, urban forests, and local ecosystems. Through visual art, storytelling, and shared space, we explore how creativity strengthens our relationship to the environments we live in — and to each other.

Proceeds from this event support UC Green’s mission to grow a healthier, greener, and more equitable urban canopy, while uplifting local artists and community voices.
