WHAT IS THE ART OF TRASH?

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.
​​

"It amazes me how enthusiastically people will collect things on your behalf when they find out that you are making something from trash"
​-Ruth Waddy, AOT 2022
