Making art with trash is what this show is about
NEHALEM — It’s never too soon
to start. Get out your cool junk
— it’s time to make trash art.
CARTM’s annual Trash
Art Show is all about working
with that irresistibly interest-
ing stuff you’ve been col-
lecting and wanting to create
something with.
All the rules are made to
be broken when creating trash
art. From beautiful mosaics
made from broken dishes, to
kinetic sculpture created with
broken lawn mower parts to
— everything is fair game.
The Trash Art Show is a
unique, local tradition and cre-
ative fundraiser for CARTM.
The 2016 event, the 18th an-
nual Trash Art Show, will be
at the Gallery at North County
Recreation District, the show’s
new permanent location in Ne-
halem, with lots of open and
well-lit space for art, and plen-
ty of parking for art lovers.
Artists may submit up to
three pieces of work for the
show. There is no entry fee and
the only stipulations are that
all artwork must be created
with recycled, repurposed or
UHXVHG PDWHULDOV DQG PXVW ¿W
through a standard-size door.
The work must be for sale.
Sales receipts are split evenly be-
tween the artist(s) and CARTM.
Submit work to the Gallery
at the North County Recre-
ation District, 36155 9th St.
in Nehalem, between 1 p.m.
and 5 p.m. Wednesday, May
11. Each submitted piece must
have a title and be ready to
hang or display.
