NextStep Recycling announces 1st Annual Recycled Arts Fair

Aug. 4, 2009 - PRLog -- Hosted by Crescent Village Town Center 2736 Shadow View Dr. Eugene, OR 97408
 
Please join us as we gather to celebrate artists who use their beautiful art to creatively look at what most of us view as trash. Reuse is what these artists do - to encourage us all to think before we toss what we don’t want anymore.
 
Recycle/repurpose ARTISTS from Oregon and Washington

LOCAL FARMERS with their delicious produce

BUILD A MOSAIC: Kids activities: your children can build whatever they can envision using “junk” we collect at NextStep for this very purpose. At the end of the day the kids’ art will be voted on by the artists, and prizes will be awarded (lots and lots and lots of categories!)

RE-HOME A PET: interested in giving a home to a pet someone else just couldn’t take care of? Come see who will be here, gazing at you with hopeful eyes!

MUSIC: Local performers will rock your socks off!

EDUCATION: Enjoy the food, drink and desserts available at Crescent Village Town Center restaurants.
