Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Week 4
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Sustainable Art Residency
An 8-week community-centered art program that transforms discarded items—like old shoes, t-shirts, and recyclable materials—into meaningful works of art. Led by artist and educator Cardoza, the residency invites youth participants to engage in hands-on workshops that blend creativity, sustainability, and cultural pride.
Each week introduces a new theme inspired by artists like Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Andy Warhol—encouraging students to reflect on their identities, communities, and environment through guided art-making.
The residency culminates in a final community showcase, where families and neighbors come together to celebrate the students’ work and the power of turning waste into expression.
