Held annually, the Exhibition features original works of art made from materials recycled from The Education Fund's Ocean Bank Center for Educational Materials, an 11,000-square-foot warehouse where teachers can shop for free classroom supplies and materials.

The artistic process begins with recycled materials - everything from tools to milk jugs, scrap metal, cardboard tubes, tin foil, acetate, Styrofoam, music CDs and even thread from fire hoses. Equipped with these recycled materials, or "found objects," students and teachers use their creativity to convert them into works of art such as paintings, drawings, traditional sculptures, mixed-media, and 3-D pieces.

"The Art of Found Objects" includes a lively awards reception with prizes and awards given to the talented students and teachers who create the most outstanding original works of "found art."

Many of these fabulous works will later be sold at The Education Fund's Art of Found Objects Charity Auction on May 2nd. See link on the right.
