Washed Ashore: Plastics, Sea LIfe & Art

Through September 3rd, 2012

at the Chula Vista Nature Center

Washed Ashore: Plastics, Sea Life & Art is a nationally acclaimed, environmental art exhibit featuring massive sculptures and other art pieces made entirely of marine debris collected from beaches, such as plastic ropes, nets, toys, cigarette lighters, flip-flops, Frisbees and more. The community art project brings attention to the global crisis of ocean pollution and the impact of “disposable” plastics that threaten marine animals and habitats. The vision of Oregon-based artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi, Washed Ashore is designed to educate, entertain and inspire guests of all ages. This interactive art experience runs through September 3rd, 2012 at the Chula Vista Nature Center before beginning its worldwide tour.

Join a guided tour of the amazing Washed Ashore exhibit with a docent every Saturday and Sunday at 1:00 (free with admission).
