Eco.Art Extravaganza 2026

Our spectacular Eco.Art Extravaganza is returning in 2026 after celebrating environmental creativity in 2022 and 2023! Join us as an artist or an art enthusiast!

“The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.” - Toni Cade Bambara

What is Eco.Art?

We define Eco.Art in two ways:

  1. Art made using refurbished or upcycled materials - Giving new life to what might otherwise be discarded

  2. Art that conveys an environmental message - Using creativity to raise awareness about our planet
