About Us

Linden Tree was conceived in late 2003 as an opportunity for a group of friends and associates to share with each other what they were most enthused about in their respective creative realms.  Using what was the new Sagan Piechota Architecture space on Linden St. as a venue, the original group of approximately 25 design / creative types came together and agreed that a monthly gathering would be desirable. 

For the the following years, a fabulous and diverse variety of individuals have shared with this growing community their work, process, and ideas in an open and casual and engaging format which has proven to be stimulating and inspiring.  Painters, writers, musicians, architects, industrial designers, printmakers, sculptors, glass artists, coffee roasters are a sampling of past presentations.

Some planners argue that modern lifestyles use too many natural resources, polluting or destroying ecosystems, increasing social inequality, creating urban heat islands, and causing climate change. Many urban planners, therefore, advocate sustainable cities
