Oakland Re-Create 2009 Art Contest and Exhibit
Re-Create Traveling Art Exhibit
City Hall Rotunda
Selected pieces from Oakland’s Annual Re-Create Art Contest and Exhibition are on display at City Hall on the Mezzanine of the Rotunda through January 30, 2010. Stop by to see the beautiful pieces that Oakland student artists have created from discarded materials in a hands-on application of the 4Rs - reduce, reuse, recycle and rot.
Several of the contest entries on display received awards for artistic merit at the Re-Create opening reception in November 2009.
