The Tree of Light is a sculpture that stands over 20 feet tall and twenty feet wide. Resembling a tree, it is made of recycled and reclaimed wood. Viewers are invited to interact with the Tree by turning on the 40 lightbulbs that hang from the Tree. Once all 40 bulbs are on, the lights dance to an original piece of music and then reset to black to start all over again.
The opening gala for the Tree of Light is February 2 from 8-10 PM at the Seaside Plaza (201 S Orange Ave, Orlando) in downtown Orlando. The event will be attended by several hundred art patrons, city officials, media professionals and arts and culture advocates. The event is open to the general public.
The Tree of Light is a recipient of a United Arts of Central Florida grant and will be appearing along with 305 other events as part of ArtsFest 2012 that runs throughout February across Central FL.
