Students Teach | Zero Waste Art Exhibit

Shoreline City Hall Lobby

Shoreline, WA 98133

This fall the City of Shoreline and the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council have partnered with CleanScapes to host a special art exhibit in honor of artwork created by local elementary students featuring zero waste ideas.

The exhibit will be available for viewing in the Shoreline City Hall lobby September 12 – 23, 2011, and will feature the artwork of twenty-two local elementary students.

As you will see, students have a lot to teach us. Youth have a distinctive voice and an important role in inspiring us to make positive choices in our day to day lives that support a sustainable and vibrant future for everyone.

If you have the chance to visit the exhibit, take note of the students’ waste reduction advice. You could help your neighborhood and the environment! Every year, Shoreline neighborhoods compete to see who can reduce their waste footprint the most. Click on your city’s link to learn how you can reduce, reuse and win!

ART EXHIBIT PROJECT BACKGROUND

In 2010/11, CleanScapes invited Shoreline elementary students to share their waste reduction ideas through an Elementary Student Art Contest.

This contest was part of CleanScapes Neighborhood Waste Reduction Rewards program, a friendly competition that challenges neighborhoods to reduce their waste footprint.

In total, twenty-two students participated from schools throughout the community including Meridian Park, Echo Lake and Lake Forest Park Elementary. Youth artists in grades 1 through 6 created the works of art shown in this exhibit.
