The Urban Forest Project banners hanging in Washington, DC and Tacoma, WA.

A series of 100 banners were recently installed in the heart of Washington, DC, the latest city to collaborate with Worldstudio on The Urban Forest Project. This innovative environmental, public arts initiative is being presented by District Department of Transportation (DDOT), in collaboration with AIGA DC, the Corcoran College of Art + Design, and the Downtown DC Business Improvement District.

On the other side of the country, The Urban Forest Project Tacoma is coming to a close. Banners will be taken down this week and be repurposed into one-of-a-kind messenger bags by Alchemy Goods. The bags will be available for purchase, with proceeds benefiting EverGreen Tacoma. Details of how to purchase the bags will be available on the website June 15th. Posters and t-shirts are currently for sale.

In addition to Tacoma and Washington, DC, Worldstudio’s The Urban Forest Project has taken root in Albuquerque, Baltimore, Denver, New York, Portland and Toledo.

The Urban Forest Project is a unique opportunity for corporations and organizations to align with an initiative that supports the environment, education and public art. This April, the project will plant 100 street banners by students, artists and designers in high traffic areas of San Francisco and Washington DC in celebration of Earth Day. The banners will remain a part of the city landscape in both cities for up to four months. Proceeds from the recycled banners will benefit tree planting and urban forestry efforts.

February 26th marks the sponsorship deadlines for both the San Francisco and Washington DC projects. To learn more about the wide range of available opportunities, please visit the UFP SF and UFP DC sites or contact Andréa Pellegrino.
