A CALL FOR UPCYCLE ART! As part of Hopewell Valley Green Week, be the first to hear about The Junkyard – an upcycle art exhibition being hosted by the HV Arts Council in July 2021 at Woolsey Park. We are looking for artists, teams and families who are ready to accept our art challenge. “Upcycling” involves reusing objects for practical or aesthetic purposes, prolonging their usefulness and diverting them from a landfill. The artwork will be created primarily with materials that would normally be considered junk or trash – like plastic bottles, metal tools, styrofoam, wood pallets, discarded books, car parts – all reimagined into art and sculpture and even musical instruments, proving the saying that “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”
