Green Hope Project
invites elementary, middle school, high school, and
adults to submit entries for our upcoming
Trash to Treasure ViI recycled art contest.
The contest is being held in conjunction with Earth Day events to
promote recycling and raise awareness about current issues regarding pollution.
This project began with the El Dorado High School art students adopting a section of the highway to clean up and then turning what they found into artwork. Workshops have been given (and will continue to be given) to educate the community about how they can reuse these materials. These workshops, and other events, will continue with the newly established non-profit, Green Hope Project. It was born out of the desire for former high school students, community members, and local business owners to continue with, and improve upon, what It's Your World Project began.
The exhibit will be held virtually this year, out of caution. Artwork must have some component of recycled materials used in it. The judges will take into account the use of materials when choosing works for the exhibition. The theme/subject matter is open, so long as an obvious portion of it is from recycled objects. By means of the Arts, our objective is to raise awareness about environmental concerns. This is one of the ways that we support educational achievement, environmental stewardship, and the arts in our community.
