Is another person’s fine art media.

San Francisco’s 47-acre recycling and recovery center is more than just a dumping ground, it serves as a treasure trove for Bay Area artists in residency, giving them the opportunity to scavenge materials for use in creating new pieces.

Earlier this month, the trash-to-treasure artwork from dozens of artists was on display as 2,000 people attended the opening of a free exhibition, which featured 35 years of artwork from the center.

Stop on by. The exhibition is open through the end of the month and includes ~50 pieces, from paintings produced with recycled house paint to tapestries made from used ties, shirts, and other fabrics.
