Sustainable Rutland and its member organizations are proud to announce our Trash to Art Competition. Learning to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle is an important part of everyone’s life and an essential component of a healthy environment. This project encourages everyone - no matter your experience or lack of experience with art - to turn Trash into Art and have fun doing it!

This is an art contest and exhibit of durable art of any size made from found objects, surplus materials, used items, recyclables, garbage or anything else that might find its way into our landfills.

All submissions will be judged and exhibited during Friday Night Live, 6:00pm - 10pm on Friday August 14, 2009 in Downtown Rutland. This is an outdoor, rain or shine event with tents and some indoor locations provided for submissions.

Sustainable Rutland is a committee of the Rutland Creative Economy. For more information : www.sustainablerutland.org or info@sustainablerutland.org.
