SUCCESS STORY
Arcadia
(San Francisco, CA)- Friends of the Urban Forest works with more than 100 Bay Area artists to present a biennial exhibition and auction of original artwork of, or inspired by, trees. Proceeds from the event help fund tree planting and other organizational programs. Originally conceived by a group of artists in 2002, Arcadia continues to successfully increase Friends of the Urban Forest's profile and its work as well as raising money to expand its programs.
