This year’s theme is “Holiday Splendor,” signifying a return to the magnificent joy and wonder of the holiday season. Notably, the 2022 Carnegie Trees Opening Celebration will kick off the museum’s festive holiday season before Thanksgiving for the first time. While the Carnegie Trees typically attract over 75,000 museum guests annually, we hope the early launch will entice even more visitors to the museum over the duration of the entire holiday season.

Please join us for Trees 2002!

Special thanks for the generous contributions from:

The Carnegie Trees Tradition

Since 1961, the annual installation and decoration of the soaring evergreens in the Hall of Architecture, fondly known as “The Carnegie Trees,” has been the signature tradition of the Women’s Committee of the Carnegie Museum of Art, which underwrites and facilitates the trees as its gift to the Pittsburgh community. Your support of this annual fundraiser ensures the Women’s Committe’s financial support of the Carnegie Museum of Art.

The Women’s Committee extends its gratitude to:

Culinaire
Calligraphers Guild of Pittsburgh
Eisler Nurseries
The Rick Purcell Trio
The Staffs of the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History
