Following the tornado on June 5, 2010, Leamington has demonstrated remarkable strength together and a willingness to leave a lasting legacy. The goal of the Leamington Tree Sculpture Legacy project is to create a lasting, outdoor public art experience whereby, chainsaw carvers and wood sculptures will transform three of the remaining oak tree trunks into beautiful carvings. A partnership between the South Essex Arts Association and the Windsor Woodcarving Museum, along with the Municipality of Leamington has been established and a planning committee to select the woodcarvers, the concept drawings for each tree trunk and to assist with planning a community-wide event is well on their way to making the Tree Legacy Project a reality.
A call for entries was open from January 10 to April 1, 2011 to interested woodcarving artists was sent out by the Leamington Art Centre, the Windsor Woodcarving Museaum and the Municipality of Leamington.
The Leamington Tree Legacy Project is grateful for the corporate support from Cogeco.
