Showcasing over 30 artists, including youth, Trash Bash 2013! features art made from recyclable materials such as candy wrappers, found machinery and other objects, t-shirts, breast pumps (yes - seriously), various electrical parts, and much more. Winners will be determined by audience members and a panel of celebrity judges. Winter Hill Bank and ReCover Green Roofs have donated prize money for the youth and adult winning entries.
Joe Lynch and KyAnn Anderson, of Greater Somerville, serve as MC's of this event, while judges include Jenny Brown of Somerville Climate Action and Holli Banks of the Scout Magazines. Workshops are provided by Somerville Climate Action, Somerville Local First, and Next Step Living!
