‘RINGO’ BY ST VIRGIL’S COLLEGIATE, WINNER OF THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD.
Friday 29 June, 11:30am
St Virgil’s Collegiate School Assembly
The Art From Trash 2012 community art exhibition, hosted by Resource Work Co-operative, was hugely successful, with approximately 4,000 people attending over the course of the exhibition. The exhibition is truly a community event with artworks submitted by established and emerging artists together with work from students and first time exhibitors.
The People’s Choice Award is voted by the public throughout the exhibition, for the entry that displays the most creative reuse of materials, and this year has been awarded to St Virgil’s College for the students’ stunning creation Ringo. Ringo is a life size sculpture of a wandering albatross made from over fourteen thousand plastic bottle rings, and was created to raise awareness of the impact plastic waste has on ocean life.
Andy Wildman, Chairperson of Resource Work Cooperative, and Annie Beecroft, Coordinator of Art From Trash 2012, will present St Virgil’s College with the People’s Choice award on Friday 29 June at 11:30am at St. Virgil’s College. There will be opportunities to photograph the awards presentation, the winners of the prize, and the winning entry.
