We were so proud to welcome artists for the 21st annual “Trashformation” art competition in partnership with Alachua County Solid Waste & Resource Recovery on November 22, 2019.
Every year Alachua County middle school, high school and college students take up the challenge to make art out of reused and recycled material. Everyone was amazed by the creativity of this year’s contributions. Plastic bags, bottle caps, and folded paper became fashionable gowns, race award ribbons became running shoes, and rolled newspaper was transformed into a miniature replica of our own mammoth in Denny Gallery where the event is held every year.
The winning entries will be on display at the Florida Museum through December 2, 2019.
This event is made possible in part by the Alachua County Solid Waste & Resource Recovery Department and the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners.
