In this class we will have the unique and exciting opportunity to create a public work of art for Recycle Utah. The creative installation will highlight the importance of decreasing plastic usage and it will be crafted entirely out of recycled materials.  On the first day, a spokesperson for Recycle Utah will give the class an overview of the proposal request including the theme requirements, materials, and structural guidelines. The student artists will work collectively to develop this assignment from conception to completion. The course will culminate in a ribbon cutting ceremony commemorating their work which will be on permanent display at the Recycling Center in Park City.

The goal of this class is to expose students to different opportunities available to working artists and provide practical guidance on the application process. They will learn how to write a proposal, create an execution plan, and work collaboratively to bring a client’s objective to life. Students will have the added benefit of an education from Recycle Utah on the harmful impact of plastics on our environment and what they can do to help.

The class will meet at Ecker for the first session, and Recycle Utah, Park City for the last three sessions. Transportation will be provided
