Urban Fruit Trails- Riverside Art Museum

FAllen Fruit and Riverside Art Museum (RAM) is pleased to announce an exciting new Riverside Art Make public participatory project! RAM is bringing Fallen Fruit (David Burns and Austin Young) back to Riverside! Last fall, Fallen Fruit went to the Eastside for the Riverside Art Make, where they presented their “Lemonade Stand.” In exchange for drawing a self-portrait onto a lemon, each participant received a glass of organic lemonade. See the community’s portraits by Fallen Fruit here:

This February, Fallen Fruit will work with RAM to produce “Urban Fruit Trails.” Fallen Fruit distributes free bare-root fruit trees in a variety of urban settings. They ask that the fruit trees are planted in public space or on the periphery of private property next to a sidewalk or a road, in order to create new kinds of communal life based on generosity and sharing. Each recipient signs an adoption form promising to care for the tree — initiating a relationship with it. Eventually the trees will become part of a network of Urban Fruit Trails on the Endless Orchard.
