Recycled Art and Fashion Show Set for April 20 in Temecula

Temecula Recycling and Hine Temecula Mazda are proud to present the Recycled Art and Fashion Show 2013.

This second annual event will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Saturday, April 20 at Monte de Oro Winery, 35820 Rancho California Road, Temecula. Proceeds will benefit the Art Department at Mt. San Jacinto College.

The art students from Mt. San Jacinto College will be strutting the runway with their recycled fashion/wearable art. Most of the pieces the students design are made from at least 50 percent of recycled items such as newspaper, plastics, can tabs, metals, duct tape, plastic bags, rubber, thrift store items and more. All designers identify their pieces and most make a statement or portray a message.

The event also features a Juried Art Show to showcase pieces made from recycled items.

Celebrity artists in attendance will include Kris Estenger, a fabric artist, and Maggie Sichter, a young aspiring artist from Chicago.

A "green" expo area will feature green-friendly businesses, local artists, recycled art and furniture.

Early bird tickets are available for $10 per person, which includes light appetizers and desserts. Tickets will go up to $15 per person after April 15. Tickets can be purchased on line at Recycledartshow.com.
