UpCycle Art in the Park
September 9 - October 11
The Shiawassee Arts Center seeks to promote the environmental importance of the Shiawassee River and its Watershed by presenting this UpCycle Art in the Park event in 2024.
Utilizing trash collected from the Shiawassee River during the Friends of the Shiawassee River annual river cleanup in July, Michigan artists were invited to create three-dimensional sculptures from primarily recycled materials obtained from the river and recycling centers.
In Partnership with the Friends of the Shiawassee River and Sponsored by the Cook Family Foundation

Did you know that approximately 21.8 million pounds of plastic flows into the Great Lakes every year and that 80% of all littler found is plastic? Our state’s recycling rate is at 23%, which is less than the 32% national rate. By choosing to drink from a reusable water bottle, using recyclable bags when shopping, and making efforts to recycle our trash, all of us can make a DIFFERENCE!
