After checking out the Planetarium's astronomy night Universe, swing by MCC Art Gallery to check out the final day of the Biennial Faculty & Staff Exhibition.

 Come and make a recycled flower for Ann Morton's Re-Thanks: a community expression of recycled gratitude!

In association with the City of Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture Public Art Residency at the 27th Avenue Solid Waste Management Facility, artist Ann Morton is orchestrating a new community project that builds awareness of the city’s generation of recyclable trash through an invitation to participants to make and offer their gratitude to the workers at 27th Ave. – who touch this trash eachday, and on whose work we rely to keep order in our daily lives.  Makers will craft individual gestures of gratitude in the form of flowers made from their own recyclable trash – plastics, aluminum, cardboard.  Once made, these flowers will be assembled as a cascading textile-like display that replicates the seemingly unending flow of recyclables we generate and that these workers sort everyday – but, this flow will be transformed into seemingly endless gratitude, because each flower will carry a note of thanks from its maker. After the installation, selected flowers will be re-assembled into gifts to present to each worker.

Supplies and instructions will be provided, this event is free.
