The competition will be held on November 13, 2019 at the Eckerd College James Center for Molecular and Life Sciences (4200 54th Avenue South, St. Petersburg FL, 33711). The Art Show is a one-evening exhibition of art created from recycled or found single-use plastic waste. Students will be eligible for monetary prizes. This community-wide event aims to increase awareness of the environmental impacts of abundant and unnecessary single-use plastic consumption while offering a creative way to repurpose discarded items. The show will be part of the College Program Series, and submissions will be judged by a panel of artists invited from the St. Petersburg community.
