Event Details
In this 27th year, the12 Trees exhibition at the Gardiner Museum focuses on light as a potent symbol of hope that many cultures share. Curated by author and visual artist Douglas Coupland and vice president at Public Art Management Ben Mills, this year’s exhibition brings a contemporary, light-filled perspective to the 12 Trees tradition.
Among other delights, this year’s light-inspired art installations include a disco-ball Christmas tree, a manually-powered holiday tree light show, an animated winter dreamscape, a “tree” comprised of illuminated blocks, and more. In addition to the twelve artist installations, visit the neon-lit 42-foot white spruce on the Museum’s front plaza designed by Presenting Sponsor, Nordstrom, and donated by Ontario Wood and Forests Ontario.
Note that visitors will be unable to access one of the installations in the Terrace Room after 4 pm on selected days due private event bookings.
