This project challenged artists to take materials that were no longer in use and give them a second life and new function as a piece of art.
Selected artists had access to materials at Goodwill Industries of Akron's Outlet Store and space at Summit Artspace to create a work of art using materials that would have otherwise gone to a landfill. By supporting artists who worked with recycled materials, ReWorks hoped to encourage people to reduce, reuse, and recycle materials and promote new ways of thinking about art and the environment.
