My first entry regarding Oro Valley artwork is about a piece that really seems to sum up the beauty and creativity that each work represents, but also the education and passion that this artist is trying to convey. The Learning Tree, located on the SE corner of the Oro Valley Public Library is a bronzed sculpture that does just that. Approved in October 2002, this piece cost $32,000. Unfortunately the artist's name was not released, but his/her message regarding the importance of literacy was made clear with the following script that's located in the open faced book under the tree -
The more you read
The more you know
The more you grow
The stronger your voice
When speaking your mind
Or making a choice
It's really something to see, especially when the sun is shining down on the on the tree and leaves glitter like gold. If you're not familiar with the area I've provided a link below with directions.
