Clark County’s Recycled Arts Festival has won two awards from the Washington Festival and Events Association for benefiting the community and best overall event.
The awards were presented last week to Sally Fisher, an outreach specialist in the county’s environmental services department, who is the event’s founder and coordinator.
One award, the Community Impact Award, was given for having the most positive impact on a community of any Washington festival or event in 2015.
The second, the Grand Summit Award, is the association’s top honor. It was given for having the best overall unity, clarity of message, design, layout, creativity and overall community appeal of any Washington festival or event in 2015.
Now in its 11th year, the Recycled Arts Festival is a two-day event showcasing artwork made of recycled or repurposed materials. This year, the festival will be held June 24-25 at Esther Short Park.
More than 140 artists are scheduled to participate in the event this year, along with nine bands. Environmentally based presentations and family friendly activities will be included.
