Artwork made of recycled materials is being featured throughout the city of Phoenix.

A new exhibition titled “Reimagined Trash” opened Monday at two downtown locations: The Gallery at City Hall and the Arizona Science Center.

This collection of artwork offers new perspectives on recycling and reusing materials and household items.  In 2016, two local creators, Christine Lee and Ann Morton, were named artists in residence for a new collaboration between the city of Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture Public Art Program and Reimagine Phoenix. This group effort is part of Phoenix’s Public Works Department waste diversion initiative.

The two artists dedicated themselves to the project, working on-site for six months and studying ways to turn recycled materials into reusable ideas and objects, giving discarded items a second chance at life!

This unique, one-of-a-kind artistic effort will be celebrated at both locations with a reception on Monday, March 6th, from 5 pm to 8 pm. There will be trolley transportation provide between both locations.

The exhibitions will be on view through August 25, 2017.
