Join the California Nature Art Museum and the Thomas Dambo team at Veterans Memorial Hall in Solvang on Thursday, January 30th from 6 to 8 pm, for an inspirational and educational Artist Talk after the construction of our new permanent troll exhibition.
Attendees will hear the story behind the trail of trolls located all around the world, learn a little bit about the construction of the latest troll, and discover the mission and purpose behind Dambo's recycled art.

Thomas Dambo is an internationally renowned Danish artist and recycling activist who is celebrated for his imaginative and colossal sculptures made from recycled materials. Specializing in creating enchanting wooden trolls, Dambo breathes new life into discarded resources, showcasing the boundless potential hidden within our world’s trash cans. In January 2025, Dambo and his team will bring his very first permanent troll in California to the Michele Kuelbs Tower Gallery at the California Nature Art Museum in Solvang.

This artist talk is FREE to the public, but advance registration is required. To register, please email Assistant Director Rachel Metz at rachel@calnatureartmuseum.org
