The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency is proud to present the annual National Recycling Day Art Show, exhibiting art from Ohioans that combines creativity with sustainability. Showcasing art crafted primarily with repurposed materials, this exhibition shows the innovative ways that people can find new life in materials and objects that are often simply thrown away.
The art show is in honor of America Recycles Day on November 15, recognizing the importance and impact of recycling, which continues to contribute to American prosperity and the protection of our environment.
- Reduce: Reduce the amount of waste generated.
- Reuse: Reuse products and parts.
- Recycling: Use recycled resources.
Using these approaches is essential in reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators, conserving natural resources, and saving energy. The pieces in this exhibition demonstrate just a few of the many ways in which Ohioans can achieve this, challenging the typical idea of recycling and inspiring attendees to think outside the box when it comes to environmental stewardship. The two-week exhibition is being held in downtown Columbus in the Urban Arts Space corridor and is open to the public.
