Trash to Treasure (T2T), Broward County’s innovative art competition and exhibit is designed to spread the word about the importance of reducing consumption and reusing materials in celebration of Planet Earth. T2T art competition will be judged based on the creative reuse of repurposed, or scrap materials typically found at the Trash to Treasure warehouse.  According to T2T Executive Director, Nanette Saylor, “Every year people of all ages are delighted and inspired by the creative energy featured at our Annual Trash 2 Art Exhibition. Call this by any name — upcycling, recycling, re-purposing — it’s innovative, fun and entertaining.”  For more information about T2T, see the FaceBook page (https://www.facebook.com/Trash2TreasureFL) or call Nanette Saylor at 1-888-828-8242 to find out about sponsorship opportunities.
