The Adams County Arts Council is excited to announce its Youth Recyclable Art Contest and Exhibit, fostering creativity and environmental awareness among students. This event encourages young artists to create innovative art pieces using recyclable materials, emphasizing sustainability and artistic expression.
The exhibit opens on April 5, featuring artwork form contestants who had registered last month. Now, the Arts Council invites the community to explore the exhibit until April 26, showcasing unique interpretations of recyclable materials transformed into art. Attendees can enjoy refreshments at the opening and awards ceremony, offering a vibrant community experience.

The exhibit encourages artwork that is not only creative but also functional. There is a special category for “Repurposed Art,” where students reimagine recyclable materials into usable objects. This initiative underlines the importance of sustainability, creativity, and practicality in art.
Participants must adhere to specific guidelines, including size restrictions and submission processes, ensuring a well-organized and impactful exhibit. A panel of judges will evaluate entries based on creativity, integration of materials, and presentation. Cash prizes will be awarded across various age categories, with special recognition for the People’s Choice and Best of Show.
