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 and juries art from professionals and students in partnership with arts and fashion organizations. Galleries in multiple 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. Visit our Show page.
The Mobile Recycled Art Station brings The RE Store-style arts & crafts activity booth to festivals, community celebrations, school, clubs and private events. It's a bunch of junk! Learn more about the Station here.
Recycled Art Birthday Parties are currently available in Bellingham and surrounding areas. Imagine tables full of junk, tools, paint, glue, wire, and colorful doodads. Various art themes are available. Learn more by contacting us.
