How can art shape the narrative and change human behavior around marine debris? The Center for Coastal Studies Marine Debris and Plastics program collects thousands of pounds of refuse from the ocean and coastline each year, including derelict fishing gear from local waters and trash collected during volunteer beach cleanups all over the Cape. Some of this discarded material is repurposed by innovative artists to create beautiful, thought-provoking works of art. Join CCS and Twenty Summers for a special gathering at the Hiebert Marine Laboratory, featuring unique art inspired by and created with reclaimed marine debris and a panel discussion on the intersections of artistic inspiration and human impacts on the ocean. The event will begin with a reception under the majestic Spinnaker display.
