Andy Warhol Anyone?


If you are getting tired of the copious amounts of reading that keep piling up and how increasingly monotonous the weeks seem to be, its time to put your artistic skills to use! Set a side a little time this week for some arts and crafts fun. UVA Sustainability is hosting a Recycled Art Contest on the South Lawn November 15. Anyone is welcome to submit art projects of all shapes and sizes by November 8 to Erin Webb at edw5b@virginia.edu. But the catch is everything must be made out of recycled products. I know you have about 5 plastic water bottles piling up on your desk along with a number of other random odds and ends you are too lazy to take to the recycle bins outside your dorms. Get creative and make a masterpiece that could be on display. Students on grounds will be judging the work, and winners will receive gift cards from a number of vendors and restaurants on the Corner! Every participant gets a free t-shirt to add to your collection of t-shirts you have received while here at UVA. (You are probably up to 7 or 8 now I am guessing.) To summarize: Procrastinate on your work, promote environmentally friendly practices, make some art, get a t-shirt, and possibly win some gift cards. What’s not to love? There is also a Facebook event titled “Recycled Art Contest!”
