Artist Assistants for Blue Trees Installation

IMPORTANT NOTE: For a full map of available parking and the location of the volunteer check-in spot, visit Germantown-TN.gov/BlueTreeVolunteer

We require 2 to 4 people who will work with artist Konstantin Dimopoulos to help with the Blue Trees art installation setup, clean up, monitoring onsite safety, handing out the colorant to volunteers and other onsite tasks as required by the artist. Only two assistants will be required each day, but four are required on rotation. Please only volunteer for these positions if you are reliable and can fully commit to this opportunity. For more information, contact Cat Pena at (901) 751-7664 or CPena@Germantown-TN.gov. To learn more about this public art project, visit germantownpublicart.org

Weather permitting

The colorant is harmless to all flora, fauna, insects, waterways and humans and will gradually fade from the trees over several months. The purpose of this art installation is to raise awareness of the global issue of deforestation and the importance of trees to people and their environment.

Whether you've never had anything to do with art before or if you're a regular gallery-goer, we invite you to become a part of this immersive artwork. 

Participants will assist the artist in applying the biologically safe colorant using brushes and rollers. While the non-toxic colorant washes away with soap and water, the City will provide aprons and latex gloves to those who want them.

You'll be working outdoors with watercolors, so please keep the following in mind:

• Wear old clothes and long pants
• No open-toed shoes
• Bring a snack and some water
• If the sun is out, wear a hat
• Choose weather-appropriate clothing
• Bring bug spray
