“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:

Art made using refurbished or upcycled materials - Giving new life to what might otherwise be discarded
Art that conveys an environmental message - Using creativity to raise awareness about our planet
