Barnsdall Art Park Foundation will debut the Barnsdall Olive Wood Workshop Exhibition and Online Auction from Nov. 13 to Dec. 4 at the contemporary art gallery Luis De Jesus Los Angeles.
The Barnsdall Olive Wood Workshop was established by the Barnsdall Art Park Foundation to transform recently pruned and saved olive wood limbs from the park’s trees as part of the ongoing Olive Grove revitalization efforts into creative new objects.
The group exhibition will feature original Barnsdall olive wood transformed into pieces of art by 22 L.A. artists, designers, architects and landscape architects.
Participating artists include Janna Ireland, JPW3, Cayetano Ferrer, Kelly Akashi, Azadeh Shladovsky, Nancy Monk and Jamie Bush.
The exhibited olive wood objects will be sold through an online fundraising auction with net profit being divided between the creator and the Barnsdall Olive Grove Fund.
The fundraising initiative will benefit the revitalization of Barnsdall Art Park’s historic Olive Grove with the goal to plant 40 new olive trees and maintain the health and overall condition of the site’s 463 existing olive trees.
