The Recology Artstart Student Hub (TRASH) is an art program that offers a unique opportunity for student artists in Sonoma and Marin counties to expand their existing creative practice by working with materials that would have otherwise been sent to the landfill, creating an impactful body of work.
The 2026 program is currently in session. To stay informed about future opportunities, check the program page here.
