PaperSeed’s Recycled Materials Art Competition
Because there's just one earth, and it is beautiful
The Recycled Materials Art Competition is held each spring, and was created to promote recycling and reuse of materials emphasizing creativity and innovation, in line with California’s goals to divert waste from landfills and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The RMAC is an opportunity for Marin County children to learn more about recycling, responsible use of resources, and sustainable living through creative exploration. Our goal is to raise public awareness and support of educational programming focused on recycling, reducing, and reusing of materials while building strong coalitions between community stakeholders in education, sustainability, and the arts.
More than just an art competition, the RMAC is a growing movement that brings Marin County educators, businesses, sustainability stakeholders, and community leaders together and make positive change through creative expression.
