Ridgewood’s sidewalks have over 800 empty tree beds – or roughly one for every 90 residents.

The Fallow Frames Biennial is an upcoming public art festival that will be held on July 13th and 14th, where local artists are invited to use 24 abandoned tree beds to stage site-specific installations and performances.

Visitors are invited to wander the neighborhood as active participants in a larger narrative of renewal and artistic expression – and to spark conversations about urban ecology and these small neglected patches of the city’s landscape.

Participating Artists

Maureen Catbagan and Ryan Compton
