Trash Bash features recycled art

The works of artists, crafters, recyclers and upcyclers are displayed at Somerville’s first Trash Bash, on Sunday, May 19, 2013

More than 200 people came to Arts at the Armory Saturday where artists, crafters, recyclers, and upcyclers submitted creations to the Trash Bash: Somerville’s First Recycled Art Competition. The event also included music and workshops.

Chains were constructed of can poptops, a guitar was embellished with found items, and Jackie Olivia wore a dress made of used playing cards.

First-prize winners at the event were Liam Beretsky-Jewell in the youth category and Consuelo Perez in the adult competition.
