One Stream’s Trash To Become ART
Greenway Network and community partners team up for unique project
St. Charles County, MO - Greenway Network’s Stream Trash ART (START) Project will take place on Saturday, April 12 at 11 a.m. at the Dardenne Prairie City Hall, 2032 Hanley Road.
Joseph Farmer, Joey Los, and a team of assistants will be working with metal trash to create a sculpture on site. The metal was collected through Operation Clean Stream in St. Charles County, a massive effort to remove trash from, in, and alongside streams in the county.
Cee Kay Supply, Inc. is donating the welding supplies to keep the artists working.
Anyone interested in watching the artists work is welcome to come out to Dardenne Prairie City Hall. Farmer’s work can also be seen at www.pbase.com/josephfarmer, as well as during Earth Day events at the St. Charles County Executive Building on Friday, April 18 and Forest Park in St. Louis on Sunday, April 20.
St. Charles County, Greenway Network, and the communities of Cottleville, Dardenne Prairie, Lake Saint Louis, O’Fallon, St. Charles, St. Peters, and Wentzville are all participants in Operation Clean Stream. This community-wide event is sponsored by Missouri Stream Team, George Butler Associates, Brookside Environmental Services, Missouri Department of Conservation, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and Wal-Mart.
