Art recycling beautification project

When I moved into a transitional neighborhood in 1996 in Atlanta, GA USA, I turned my home into a Peace Center so the youth could come over to create beauty with recycling and art. I supplied a free colored adhesive vinyl which Sign Shops discard, and taught the kids how to apply it to objects like trash cans, former paint buckets, filing cabinets, tables, doors, discarded plastic chairs, an automobile, boxes, pots, and more. One day a company donated cardboard cylinders which we turned into totem poles for our community gardens in bright colors and designs. In the last twelves years, we have created enough art that now we have published an Art Book to show what creative energy can achieve to improve a formerly trashy neighborhood.
