The 6th Annual
Recycled Art Exhibition

One man's trash is our artists' treasure!

The 6th Annual Recycled Art Exhibition features art that is made from recycled materials. Artists from all over Coconino County come together to promote recycling through this creative, fun and inspiring exhibition.

The Exhibition will open to the public with a Reception on Saturday, April 5, from 6-9pm, at the Coconino Center for the Arts. Eclectic performances and live music are scheduled throughout this evening, and of course, we'll serve some tasty treats.

Awards will be presented to entries in the show for Most Creative, Most Humorous, Student Work, Best of Show and more.

Throughout the run of the exhibition, which remains open to the public through April 30, 2008, the Center will play host to artist demos and children's workshops. These take place Saturdays, April 12, 19, and 26, from 11am - 5pm. Details about each demo and workshop is below.
