Photo: Tree without its twin in front of Cube Gallery
Gallery owner Don Monet was in a despondent mood. Overnight, another one of the Cube’s trademark bonsai trees had gone missing, the thieves leaving a dirty trail of potting earth along the street in front of the well-known art and performance space.
Click below to hear Monet share the way the thieves — or vandals — left him feeling over the recent incident.
Keep doing great stuff Don. The art and culture you add to the community is really valuable.
best wishes

what a sneaky thing to do. I hope they find out who did it
So sorry to hear of this Don. you do such a wonderful job and are such an asset to our community. keep up the good work.
Drunken buggers – Don wire the next one to a 2”x2” patio stone and place it in the planter then fill planter with soil. The tree will grow around the wires and make it very heavy. And short of talking with one of my old friends at DND about wiring it to something louder I think the only thing one can do in the face of this type a thieving is to watch the following… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UbtcmjfKa8

That’s rotten. At least they didn’t get inside the studio.
Speaking of which: a few years ago this local photo studio was robbed. The thieves stole $200 from the cash register, but failed to snag dozens of priceless photographs and an impressive collection of camera equipment. Thank goodness that thieves are stupid and don’t know the value of art.
