Description

Bethel Woods Center for the Arts–the historic site of the 1969 Woodstock music and art festival–is seeking proposals from artists and artisans to create commemorative works of art in honor of the legendary Message Tree, a central symbol of the 1969 festival. The Message Tree, a 60-foot red maple located on the site of the original festival, served as a unique gathering place for attendees who left messages, notes, and well-wishes pinned to its bark, making it an enduring symbol of peace, love, and community.
