Upcycle Student Collective Showcase
Monday, April 13th - Saturday, May 2nd
Union Gallery (12 - 5 p.m., Mon - Sat)
Fellow Upcyclers, Artists, Students, and everyone in between, Spartan Upcycle is going to be featured in an art show at the Union Art Gallery this spring! The exhibit- titled 'Welcome Home,' will feature a home made from reclaimed materials. As such, we are looking for upcycled household goods such as furniture and decor to bring the exhibit to life. This opportunity is not just limited to artists- anyone can participate! Find more information here, and sign up here!
This event was organized by Spartan Upcycle, along with the Upcycle Student Collective. Support creative reuse, student opportunities, sustainability, and advocacy by making a donation to our Student Engagement Fund.
