    Produced by the BelRed Arts District Community Alliance, in Partnership with Republic Services

    WHERE: BelRed Arts Studio, 1615 133rd PL NE

    ABOUT

    Turn everyday materials into something new. Taught by artist-in-residence Fred Lisaius, this workshop features a conversation with Republic Services and a hands-on workshop where you can create your own artwork out of recycled materials.

    This workshop is the final part of our artist residency program, in partnership with Republic Services. For the past few months, Fred has been working at the BelRed Arts Studio and salvaging recycled materials at local transfer stations to create an artwork that will educate the public on mindful consumption practices, encourage reuse and proper recycling, and promote new ways of thinking about art and the environment. This workshop will unveil his finished work and the process he went through to complete it.

    Sign up for free to reserve your spot, and we’ll provide guidance, tools, and supplies to create your own version of Fred's artwork -- you can also bring your own recyclables you’d like to transform.
