Reclaim This! Old Stuff, New Art
Everyone has stuff lying around their house. Mismatched buttons, an old pair of glasses, toys that are no longer played with – these are just a few examples of the kind of things that Tulsa kids are re-claiming to turn into art.

RECLAIM THIS! Old Stuff, New Art is based on the premise that by removing an object from its context, children can exercise their natural curiosity and creativity by giving this object a new life as art. By doing so, kids develop an awareness of the three R’s: reduce, reuse and recycle. They also learn how, why and what to recycle and become familiar with ways to reuse materials that cannot be recycled.
