The Art of Recycling Exhibition 2007

Milton Keynes Play Association showcased the creative flair of the local community, turning scrap materials into works of art!

MKPA have hosted an exhibition entitled “The Art of Recycling” throughout mid July, as part of MK’s 40th birthday celebrations.

Thanks to the support of the Milton Keynes Community Foundation, MKPA were able to provide the local community with an exhibition of artistic design. Held at the Christian Foundation Centre on Kiln Farm MKPA were proud to present a wide variety of creative talent.

Local community groups and individuals have produced 45 displays ranging from individual table top designs, to larger collective pieces that illustrated the flexibility of recyclable materials. Exhibits included large collective pieces of art like a pirate galleon.

"This was MKPA's contribution to the city’s 40th birthday celebrations. The exhibits were of a very high standard and reflected in a variety of ways the reuse of some of the 100 tonnes of non toxic commercial waste that passes through our Resource Unit every year. It’s just like a giant Blue Peter!” said Andy Grout, Executive Director of MKPA.
