TRASH is an all-new exhibition featuring the work of 12 artists from around the globe. NCM's mission is to change the way we think about trash. As an invisible but important issue, the new artworks invite families to explore new perspectives and help shape the future. TRASH encompasses the works of art in the exhibition, hands-on art-making projects, school curricula, artist lectures, family workshops, special events, and online discussion. Participating artists include Mikey Eastman, Kota Ezawa, Kianga Ford, Institute For Figuring, Vik Muniz, Layer, Machine Project, Jessica McCambly, Jason Rogenes, Shinique Smith, Chris Sollars and more.
