Event Details
An evening with the artist behind Dix Park's family of Trolls!
Thomas Dambo is considered the world’s leading recycle artist, and is internationally known for his art installations, most notably his giant troll sculptures. From a young age, Thomas’ parents instilled the value of recycling and sustainability. His clever mind saw the opportunity to use free recycled materials to build tree houses, games, and artistic creations right from his imagination.
Thomas will give the audience a whimsical insight into his life, career, and rise to the world’s best-known recycle art activist through stories, images and videos. Thomas Dambo's book Trash, Trolls and Treasure Hunts will be available for purchase during the event.
