Art of Trash & Trashion Show
Mālama Through Art
The Art of Trash & Trashion Show is an annual, juried exhibition that inspires our Maui Nui community to reimagine discarded resources as elements for creative inspiration.
All entries must be original work from artists who reside in Maui County and made from recycled and/or reused material. Natural elements may be incorporated, not used as the main feature or in abundance. Jurors grade their selections based on transformation of material, good craftsmanship and overall creativity.
Join the 2026 Show
Ready to transform trash into treasure? We're calling all Maui County artists to showcase their creativity in next year's Art of Trash & Trashion Show. Whether you're a seasoned maker or exploring upcycled art for the first time, we want to see how you reimagine discarded materials into something extraordinary.
What You Need to Know
All participants must be Maui County residents with original work crafted primarily from recycled or reused materials. Natural elements are welcome as accents, but the star of your piece should be the transformed materials themselves.
Entries go through a juried selection process, with chosen works displayed in our exhibition and eligible for both Community Choice and Jurors' Choice awards.
Be Part of the Experience
Selected artists are asked to volunteer as docents for just 4 hours per week during the show, helping keep our galleries open and sharing the stories behind this inspiring work with our community.
