This weekend, San Pedro Art Association breaks new ground.

Tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday, they’re hosting their first annual “Recycled Art Festival”, at CRAFTED in San Pedro!

And it’s going to combine all the best elements of SPAA,  with caring for our planet.

You’ll get a  chance to support the artists and purchase all kinds of cool creations.  The art will have started off as items that would otherwise have been discarded, as SPAA’s talented artists “give trash a second chance”.

You’ll also get to exercise your own creativity.  There will be a “make and take” table for kids–and for us “tall kids”.

On Saturday, April 15th, there will also be live music.

And especially, you’ll get to learn more about recycling and upcycling, as you visit with exhibiting artists and organizations as they work to make a difference.

Proceeds from SPAA’s Recycled Art Festival help to benefit nonprofits Angel Gowns, Birdie’s Kids, Heal the Bay, Cabrillo Marine Aquarium and Marine Mammal Care Center.

As Earth Week begins (April 14-22nd, with Earth Day 2023 happening on April 22nd), you’re invited to be a part of this eco-friendly celebration of creativity and our blue home.

SPAA’s first annual Recycled Art Festival happens Friday through Sunday, April 14th through 16th, from 9 am to 5 pm at CRAFTED in San Pedro.  CRAFTED is located at 112 East 22nd Street, at Miner.
