The Trees Exhibition

Art League of Hilton Head’s new exhibition, “The Trees,” features over 50 community artists and highlights the Lowcountry’s native trees and their benefits for our landscapes.

The Trees: A Collaboration between Art League of Hilton Head and Clemson Extension runs from May 20 to May 31. An opening reception will be held Thursday, May 23, from 5 to 7 p.m. Tree talks will also take place on May 23 and May 28 at 3 p.m., discussing our native trees’ importance with a question-and-answer session after each talk.

On Thursday, May 23, Amanda Taylor, a Forestry and Natural Resources Agent with Clemson Extension, will present “How Native Trees Are Good for Wildlife,” sharing the cute, the cuddly and the creepy crawlies, and their benefits versus a typical urban landscape.

On Tuesday, May 28, Glen Payne, an Urban Horticulture Agent with Clemson Extension, will detail the benefits of native trees, their usefulness, and resources for their care.

The exhibit, reception and tree talks are free to attend and open to the public. Art League Academy is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
