Follow on Google News | Reclaimed Artists Don’t Toss It. They “Reimagine” ItThanks to the imagination and creativity of a new breed of artists, less waste is destined for landfills as discarded items are given a new life and repurposed into artworks and fine crafts.
By: DontTossIt.com The number of artists who are embracing the concept of creating art from salvaged materials is growing. These artists now have a dedicated site to showcase this work and inspire others to discover new and ingenious uses for disposed items. A juried and invitational artist selection process ensures that only the best in upscale, US-made repurposed art, home décor, fashion and more is represented. The site also provides valuable information and message forums for environmentally conscious artists and consumers. According to the company’s partners, Pam Chamberlain and Nora Mathews, “DontTossIt.com provides environmentally conscious consumers the opportunity to purchase ‘reimagined’ To further support and encourage this cause, DontTossIt.com is donating 5% of their profits to establish a mini-grant program. Chamberlain said, “This program is designed to encourage both new and established artists to break from tradition and create works from salvaged items. As funding grows we will partner with our sponsors to establish a non-profit organization dedicated to the art of retrieving and reimagining.” For more information, visit DontTossIt.com, facebook.com/ End
