The installation was accompanied by family-friendly and free programming throughout the spring and hosted by The Denver Theatre District. Programming included musical performances, performances by local arts & culture organizations, educational lectures and wellness events.
"The Denver Theatre District, with the support of numerous city partners, is thrilled to welcome the performance art of Konstantin Dimopoulos, The Blue Trees, to Denver," said David Ehrlich, executive director, The Denver Theatre District. "We've worked closely with the Denver Department of Public Works, the Office of the City Forester, and The Park People to identify the trees that will receive the colorant and to partner with us in infusing our urban environment with a message of environmental impact."

About Konstantin Dimopoulos
Konstantin Dimopoulos creates both permanent and temporary public art installations, from sculptures to land art. Born to Greek parents in Egypt, he and his family migrated to New Zealand when he was a young boy in the 1960s at a time when there was no support for new immigrants. This experience as a merely tolerated stranger in a new land has resonated throughout his life when he studied first as a sociologist then as an artist. A deep connection with humanity, social justice and environmental consciousness pervades his artwork. The Blue Trees highlights the issue of global deforestation; while The Purple Rain removes the anonymity from the generic term "homeless." His kinetic linear sculptures are in public art collections around the United States. For more information about Dimopoulos and his work, visit www.kondimopoulos.com.
