"The Tree of Life" Painting Workshop

Join accom­plished artist Nikoli­na Kovalenko for a unique hands-on paint­ing work­shop. The Tree of Life is a uni­ver­sal sym­bol found in mythol­o­gy, reli­gion, and phi­los­o­phy, con­nect­ing heav­en, Earth, the under­world, and all forms of life. It can rep­re­sent cre­ation, wis­dom, fer­til­i­ty, enlight­en­ment, and immortality.

Imag­ine dis­cov­er­ing your own Tree of Life. What would it look like? Would it hold all four sea­sons at once, reach toward the stars, or embrace the Earth with its roots? What mag­i­cal pow­ers might it have?

Join Tai­wanese Amer­i­can Arts Coun­cil to cre­ate your own Tree of Life with col­ors, forms, and details from our imag­i­na­tion — and give it the mag­i­cal pow­er to heal and pro­tect our Earth.

This event is free but lim­it­ed to par­tic­i­pants; advance RSVP is required.

Tai­wanese Amer­i­can Arts Coun­cil is one of the 2026 Gov­er­nors Island Arts Orga­ni­za­tions in Res­i­dence.
