Recycled Art Show seeking entrants

Exercise your creativity. MainStreet Truth or Consequences is excited to be collaborating with the Sierra County Arts Council and The Bountiful Alliance Recycling Committee to produce their 5th annual Recycled Art Show, scheduled 4th – 16th November 2023.

Money raised will go toward two scholarships: SCAT Cats who recently placed 5th in the North American NFC Envirothon, and the Jan Thedford Scholarship, which is given to a High School graduate who intends to pursue a career in the Environmental Sciences.

Anyone can submit recycled artwork for this event, and we look forward to submissions from Hot Springs High School which will also be shown at this event.

There will be a non-monetary Best of Show / People’s Choice award that will be voted for by members of the public and announced at an event to celebrate America Recycles Day on November 15th.

  1. Just a chance to say here, PLEASE bring back plastics recycling at our Williamsburg dump site. I am driving mine to Las Cruces, to make sure its included. And Los Lunas has a beautiful location for its residents (and a friend of mine). SAD!
