The Public Art Committee annual works with the Pompano Beach summer Hola Mundo, Inc. to temporarily display an artwork created by their Green Team camp. This year’s project consist of a total of 3 separate artworks displayed at the Beach Pavilion Restroom and the Beach Concession Stand. The project’s objective is to create public awareness of the dangers that the trash brings to our lives. As residents of Pompano Beach, all volunteers committed their time during the summer to clean the beach. The 3 artworks use upcycled litter found during their cleanings and used them to decorate 3 skim/surf boards. On one of the boards, the art was created out of every piece of plastic they found; on another, the art was designed with regular trash, wrappers, and others; and, on the third board, only cigarette butts the volunteers picked up were used. The Public Art Committee is proud to support such a wonderful artwork created by young and budding artists in the community. A group of Junior Counselors in Training, in their efforts to clean the beach and protect the environment, organized trash clean up at Pompano Beach. From there, they came up with the idea to create an artwork entirely out of the trash they found. The artwork creation was lead by Lead Artist Marithe Leon. It promotes recycling and the process of upcycling everyday objects that normally get tossed away as trash. The artwork will be on display until May 2025.
