Imagine a professionally decorated Christmas tree glowing with lights, ornaments and creativity delivered right to your living room this holiday season.
Nineteen spectacular trees — including a beach-themed arrangement by local artist Tom Preston — are on display and up for bidding or raffled off at Kemper Center’s annual Gallery of Trees through Sunday (Dec. 4).

The multi-level display is free to open to the public. Hours are Tuesday through Friday 4 to 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The trees are sponsored by numerous local businesses and individuals. Those involved include:
