Eight magnolia trees in front of City Hall were temporarily to a striking shade of cobalt blue as part of this environmental art installation. Artist Konstantin Dimopoulos worked in partnership with community volunteers in May, 2018 to color the bark blue on eight magnolia trees on King Plaza with an eco-friendly, non-toxic colorant. The socially-driven art project is designed to spark lasting discussion about global deforestation in urban environments. The installation remained on display through March 2020.
