A READING WONDERLAND 2022
On View 11/19/22 – 12/14/22
Celebrate the 13th Anniversary of the Christmas Tree Forest presented by H-E-B, the Junior League of Corpus Christi and the Art Museum of South Texas! This year’s theme of A Reading Wonderland gives students, teachers and families in the Corpus Christi area the opportunity to foster a love of reading and to promote critical thinking and creativity through exploration of award-winning literature and illustrations.
On view through December 14th, the trees and decorations are donated to area families in need to enjoy for the remainder of the holiday season. While on view, visitors are encouraged to vote for their favorite tree, either in person or here on our website (see below FMI); H-E-B gift cards will be awarded to the 3 trees with the most votes.
A FREE FAMILY DAY event will be held on December 10, 10am – 3pm. Join us for H-E-B goodie bag giveaways, hands-on art activities, photos with Santa, live musical and dance performances, food trucks and more!
