Focused on the intersection of art, music, nature, and community, Myrtle Tree Arts is an arts collaborative with the mission to develop and present new creative works and performances, and especially those that explore relationships with the natural world. We encourage creativity by hosting local and international musicians, artists, and writers and collaborating with scientists, cultural keepers, and supporters of all kinds. We partner with local organizations and businesses interested in presenting the arts and supporting community engagement in El Dorado County, CA.

FIRE/LAND: Knowing the Territory, Art Rock Opera for the Forest, is an artistic journey into forest management and wildfire crises using music, video, and performance, in commemoration of the 2021 Caldor Fire and in partnership with the American River Conservancy.
