Presented by William E. Jewell of Historical Woods of America, with co-curator and wood sculptor Jacques Vesery
This unprecedented event showcases the creations of internationally acclaimed wood artists exhibiting their interpretations of America's history through contemporary designs formed from America's most treasured trees.(link to Historical Wood site)
Each artist is provided with wood whose roots are steeped in American history, and asked to create a distinctive form which highlights their unique style as well as the historic site from which the wood was reclaimed.
National Treasures will celebrate the historic events that framed our nation, changed our way of life and continue to inspire our world today.
