The Bilo Tree is a pop-up art gallery concept and three-day event, June 22nd – 24th in Williamsburg that will give artists and designers a completely new way to build community and share their work. The gallery aims to be the first evolving exhibition space of its kind by configuring its physical form to meet the requirements of the art during its exhibition period. The Bilo Tree will morph, contract, and expand depending on the kind of art in which it exhibits. There will also be a community mentorship program that allows developing artists to work directly with the curators to refine and grow their body of work. Local artists can also volunteer time at the gallery in exchange for space, mentorship, and an opportunity to sell their work in the storefront.
