Seattle Recycled Arts

Seattle Recycled Arts Recycled art. Reduce, reuse, reimagine repurpose, recycle. The Idea to get Recycled art shown more in the local galleries was suggested.

This all started during an meeting with Claire Mendelsonhn, Tamara Clammer, and several others in 2015. Tamara Clammer started working with the City of Seattle and others to create an festival. In 2016 Michael Arndt became the Director and pulled together the first event. The purpose of the Seattle Recycled Arts Festival is to educate and get the community excited about the reuse and recycling of

items in fun and creative ways. We define “recycled art” as art created using at least 75% recycled materials.

Our Story

This all started during a meeting with Claire Mendelsohn, Tamara Clammer, and several others in 2015. The idea to get Recycled art shown more in the local galleries was suggested. Tamara Clammer started working with the City of Seattle and others to create a festival. In 2016 Michael Arndt became the Director and pulled together the first event.

The purpose of the Seattle Recycled Arts Festival is to educate and get the community excited about eco-friendly living, demonstrating the extensive range of creativity you can express with recycled material in hopes of inspiring more artists to utilize the “recreative” philosophy in creating their own artwork. What better way to celebrate the beauty and importance of our earth than with earth friendly art!

We are a resource to a network of artist and activist who are passionate about what we do. We define “recycled art” as art created using at least 75% recycled materials in innovative, multilayered, intricate and unusual ways.

We believe art fuels innovation, collaboration adding to the culture of the community. By focusing on creating durable art from items destine for the landfill we bring value back to the community. This event is a catalyst for social and intellectual enrichment by bringing the community together to create, experience, and discuss recycled art and to foster the cultural and personal connections among artist, and environmental stewards, and the community.
