The Art Alliance of Central Pennsylvania held its 24th Annual Recycled Art Show this past April. This year’s theme was “Green is the New Black”, and featured recycled art from many local artists.

The art show featured many amazing exhibits, all of which were made from recycledmaterials. Some materials used to create the pieces below include: soda bottles and tabs, car seat springs, air conditioner coils, shredded credit cards and vintage clothing patterns.

The pieces below were displayed at our Interpretive Center for a month following the show. A big thank you to Anni Matsick for her help in transporting the pieces to and from.

This year’s show was sponsored by Joe Krentzman & Son, Inc. and there were countless volun-teers who helped make the show a success.

We are excited to see what next year’s show brings!
