Kirkland Smith: Community Art Project
April 8 - April 12
Be a part of community art!
Join us to learn about single-use plastic and make art! The Fort Mill Stormwater Department is bringing South Carolina artist, Kirkland Smith, to the Greenway! Kirkland works with discarded plastics to create stunning collages that she calls Assemblage. You will have the exciting opportunity to help her create a piece of artwork for the Town of Fort Mill!
Assemblage Materials: Lightweight disposable items in a wide variety of colors and shapes – broken are fine! We will be waiving the entry fee for those entering with collage items.
