SUMMARY:Destination Asia Festival 2024 - Annual PSBS Bonsai Exhibition - Morton Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:The Morton Arboretum\n \n  \nExplore the diverse cultures of Asia through music\, dance\, food\, and more. Join us for a fun-filled weekend that will transport you across the globe. Our bonsai exhibition will include more than fifty club and some nonclub members’ trees. As you wander around Meadow Lake\, you will experience diverse cultural performances\, demonstrations\, various shopping and art vendors\, and local food trucks. \nThis event attracts new members to our club\, allows members to gather and interact with the Festival attendees\, and teaches them about the art of bonsai. \nPSBS is proud to be in the Sycamore Room again to host our Annual PSBS Bonsai Exhibition.  Our Bonsai Exhibition is where our club members show the trees they have spent so much time on.  There will also be several “trees in training” tables where our new members can show their work\, and others can display attractive trees in progress.  Please consider bringing as many of your trees as possible.  As PSBS members\, you are allowed up to three display trees for judging but unlimited “trees in training.”\nBonsai Show Overview\n\nClub Members Only\nExhibition Tree Judging Criteria\nCLICK HERE \n\nDemonstrations\n  \nThe Destination Asia Festival at The Morton Arboretum and the Prairie State Bonsai Show are scheduled for Saturday\, August 3rd\, and Sunday\, August 4th this year.  On those dates\, PSBS will present four separate demonstrations in the courtyard across from the Visitor Center and Sycamore Room\, where the Bonsai Show will be held.  These demonstrations are meant to give the people attending the Festival an idea of the effort and care needed to turn a tree into a bonsai. \n  \nDemonstrations will be presented at 10:00 AM and 2:30 PM each day of the Festival. \n  \nOur Guest Artist\, Jennifer Price\, will style a White Spruce on Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon\, our Guest Judge Chris Baker will present a Dawn Redwood. The diversity continues with Larry Magee working on a Pinus Contorta (Lodgepole Pine) Sunday morning and Matt Mazza creating a bonsai from a crabapple pre-bonsai Sunday afternoon. The variety of artists and tree types promises an intriguing and enriching experience for all attendees. \n  \nYou may want to plan your attendance at the Festival and your volunteer hours so you will be free to observe your favorite artist and type of tree.  We will see you there! \n\nWorkshops\n  \nThe Destination Asia Festival at The Morton Arboretum and the Prairie State Bonsai Show are scheduled for Saturday\, August 3rd\, and Sunday\, August 4th this year.  On those dates\, PSBS will present eight workshops at the Thornhill Education Center on the west side of the park.  PSBS members can enroll in these workshops and save $10 from the guest price.  Members cannot enroll on the Arboretum’s website but must call 630-719-2468 and let the representative know you are a PSBS member.  You can review the available classes at https://mortonarb.org/explore/categories/adult-programs/. \n  \nMorning classes will run from 9:00 AM to Noon\, and afternoon classes are scheduled from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM. \n  \nTwo new morning workshops are being offered\, providing exciting learning opportunities.
