We Can Have Less Plastic in Public Art
Congratulations to the Ashland Storm Drain Painting Project artists and organizers. The project turned out so well and is a really exciting example of what is possible in the realm of public art. We hope this will be inspiration to others and increase the overall consideration of materials and their impact on human health and the environment.
