In the spirit of City High / Middle's Economicology program, the school PTSA is sponsoring its 2nd annual Recycled Art Market. "Recycled" as in taking something old and creating something new. Some people refer to this creativity as "repurposing" or "up-cycling" also. Many of us have done this for years, we just didn’t know it. Remember making Christmas wreaths out of cut up dry cleaning bags or baggies? Up-cycling! Have you ever made a table out of a chest? Repurposing!! You get the idea. These artists take creativity to a whole new level and really think outside the box!

This remarkable collection of artists incorporate recycled materials in their work. We have many artists returning from last year and look forward to the discovery of even more artists who adhere to these practices.

Mark your calendars for Saturday November 6th and join us for another relaxed, delightful, shopping adventure. We have plenty of parking and good music to shop by. You are certain to find many unique gifts to complete your holiday gift list!

We will add an artists name in the Artist section of this page periodically and Recycled Art Market artist links will be posted also, or scroll down to learn more about the artist's work.

Email the City PTSA for more information or to learn how you can get involved! If you are an artist who would like to contribute to our event, please visit our online Sign-Up Form.
