What is Recycled Art?
Recycled Art is art that has been created from found, salvaged, scavenged, and repurposed materials. The art can take the form of 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional, fashion design and accessories, interactive, mechanical, electronic, kinetic and multimedia works. Cast-off materials are very abundant in the American landscape, giving artists and designers a wide array of possibilities.
The RE Store has been bringing Recycled Art events and programs to the Puget Sound region since our first Recycled Art Show in 1999. These include:
The annual Recycled Art & Fashion Show curates art from professionals and students in partnership with arts and fashion organizations. Galleries in 3 cities display the work of the artists and designers. We celebrate the Show with Art Openings, outrageous Haute Trash Fashion Shows, hands-on art workshops, and other fun events.
