Plant the Perimeter Fruit Tree Giveaway
This great green event is over now!
Artist collective Fallen Fruit kicks off a yearlong project, EATLACMA, with a fruit tree giveaway. Come pick up a free fruit tree along with planting instructions for your garden. This is the first in a series of events, which will include an exhibition, opening in June, and a series of food-related events throughout the year.
EATLACMA is a year-long investigation into food, art, culture and politics. EATLACMA's projects consider food as a common ground that explores the social role of art and ritual in community and human relationships. EATLACMA unfolds seasonally, with artist's gardens planted and harvested on the museum campus, hands-on public events, and a concurrent exhibition, Fallen Fruit Presents The Fruit of LACMA (June 27-November 7, 2010). EATLACMA is curated by Fallen Fruit—David Burns, Matias Viegener and Austin Young-and LACMA curator Michele Urton.
* Free, no reservations
* Limited quantity, please plan to arrive early.
* The event will end by 3 pm or when all trees have been given away.
For more information, see website linked above or call 323-857-6010.

EATLACMA was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and made possible by a Museum and Community Connections Grant from MetLife Foundation. Additional support was provided by the Ralph M. Parsons Fund.
LACMA tree distribution sponsored by Paramount Citrus, the world's largest grower of California Cuties.

Public Fruit is the concept behind Fallen Fruit, an activist art project, which started as a mapping of all the public fruit in our neighborhood. We believe fruit is a resource that should be commonly shared, like shells from the beach or mushrooms from the forest. Read more at: www.fallenfruit.org/
