Reclaim, Repurpose, Reimagine (RRR) will explore the act of transforming discarded objects into art and highlight the ways in which individuals play a significant role in addressing environmental issues, including waste and trash. With reclaimed materials that would otherwise have been discarded or lost, artists make visible the process of self-discovery, personal growth, identity, environmentalism, and sustainability. They are united by the ability to recognize hidden beauty, potential, and resilience in both objects and ourselves, and by their desire to illuminate personal stories that resonate with all of us. 

This exhibition will showcase the works of five Bay Area artists: Mia Feuer, Bryan Keith Thomas, Arleene Correa Valencia, Richard Lange and Judith Shelby Lang of One Beach Plastic, and feature selected works from the Recology Artstart Student Hub (TRASH) summer residency program.
