It is a charming domestic comedy/drama about the family of a writer—his pregnant wife and his father, an Italian stone mason who wants to help prepare him to be a parent.

EXHIBIT Tree of LifeJanuary 16 - April 3 in the Canyon GalleryTrees have played an important role in many of the world’s mythologies and religions, and have been given deep and sacred meanings throughout the ages. Human beings, observing the growth and death of trees, the elasticity of their branches, the annual decay and revival of their foliage, see them as powerful symbols of growth, decay and resurrection.

For this exhibition, artists working in various media install lightweight tree canopies from the ceiling of the gallery. Additionally, the three main walls of the gallery will be covered with treeforms completing an artistic for-est. In this fabricated landscape, two and three dimensional artworks by local fine artists are installed celebrating the beauty of living trees and promote awareness of how they benefit all creatures, providing shelter, shade, nourishment, oxygen...life itself.

Participating artists include Cha Cha (curator), Gretchen Acharya, Su-san Albers, Martine Amade, Sarah Amorese, James Balog, Elizabeth Black, Joy Boston, Chris Brown, Pat Chapman, Amy Guion Clay, Catherine Cleary, Annette Cole-man, Carolyn Crawford, Erinn Diekman, Karen Dombrowski-Sobel, Caroline Douglas, Buff Elting, Willi Eggerman, David Foley, Carol Garnand, Susan Garson, Robin Grabowski, Emma Hardy, John King, Sally King, Kevan Krasnoff, Calista Morrill, Pamela Olson, Tom Pakele, Astrid Paustian, George Peters, Frank Sampson, Mary Lynn Schumacher, Anne Shutan, Arabella Tattershall, Melanie Walk-er, Carol Watkins, John Waugh, Jane Yamada, and the Boulder High art students of Virginia Schick and Kate Villareal.

An artists reception will take place in the Canyon Gallery on Friday, January 22, from 5-7 p.m. For a list of free special programs and storytimes being produced by the library to coincide with this exhibit, go to boulderlibrary.org/trees.
