Clean Up the Coastline Garbage Artwork exhibition

Between the dates of 15^th and 22^nd September, the Clean Up the Coastline team held an garbage artwork exhibition in Smáralind’s Winter Garden. The exhibition displayed artwork from various schools in Reykjavik, including Víkurskóli, Fossvogsskóli, Grandaskóli, Korpuskóli, Húsaskóli, Breiđholtskóli, Suđurhiđarskóli, Klébergsskóli and Borgaskóli. In total there were over 80 items of artwork, displayed on fish boxes donated by Emskip.

Two competitions were held during the exhibition, for the best artwork piece and Veraldarvinir’s annual photo competition. Visitors to the display were able to browse and vote for their favorites. The winning schools were Víkurskóli, with ‘Miss Iceland 2007’ and Suðurhlíðarskóli, with ‘Iceland’. The prize is an adventure trip with Veraldarvinir.

In addition to the artwork, there was a children’s area, where it was possible to construct your very own garbage artwork. There were also garbage instruments and the team had great fun inspiring shoppers with some rhythms!
