WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE ART?

Sustainable art has emerged as an art term that can be distinguished from environmental art as art that is in harmony with the key principles of sustainability, which includes ecology, social justice, non-violence and grassroots democracy.  The June Key Delta Community Center hopes to encourage local artists by displaying their sustainable artwork in the center.

created the Styrofoam Hummer 
using Styrofoamscavenged from the dump; 
Junge sculptured a 17ft (5.2m) long,
6ft (1.8m) high and 8ft (2.4m) wide
Hummer to highlight waste and
consumption in North American
culture.  Above, clay house, artist

Above:  American artist Gabriel Dishaw takes discarded bits of wire, bolts, screws and circuit board scraps and transforms the recycled metal into stunning sculptures. Using iconic sneakers for inspiration, Dishaw’s Junk Dunk series displays the artist’s incredible attention to detail, including proper sizing (shoe size 9.5) logos, familiar stitching, movable shoe tongues and laces. Each shoe is made entirely of recycled metals with only glue used to hold the sculpture together.
