The biannual UAF Sustainability Art show is back!

The Sustainable Art Show values projects that are innovative, imaginative, and demonstrate the ability to creatively recycle and reuse. UAF students, faculty, and staff are invited to display their artwork made from recycled or reclaimed materials.

Please drop off pieces in the Wood Center on Monday, April 15 between 2pm and 4pm. Pick up by 5pm April 21.

The Opening and Awards Ceremony with Chancellor Brian Rogers will be held on Thursday, from 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. April 18th.

Awards are presented for the visionary use of recycled materials. Art will be judged on best use of recycled materials; creativity and originality in using recycled materials; and composition and design.

The Spring 2013 show will be displayed from Tuesday, April 16 to Monday, April 21. Please stop by and vote for the People's Choice Award!

The Office of Sustainability in partnership with the UAF Art Department sponsors a Sustainability Art Show twice a year. It highlights alternative uses for materials that would otherwise end up in the landfill. From trash to art, we bring you an opportunity to display your innovation, imagination, and ability to recycle and reuse!

UAF believes that waste can be a creative source for art and manufacturing. The goal of the sustainability art show is to promote local artist and industries that use recycled and repurposed materials in creative ways. This type of event will help reshape these “waste” materials into viable products, job creation and finally a responsible solution for much of our waste stream.
