Garbage Can Art at Granville Island , Sept 2009

Was at Granville Island when they just started their "Garbage Can Art" painting and decoration.
They have from 11 am - 3 pm to finish their garbage cans. Was not able to get back to see their final products :-(
Hope someone posts the finished cans on here.
Was told that they cans are packed with goodies from the merchants before the auction and worth the money spent.....next year I will be bidding away.

Garbage Can Art

This event really pushes creativity to incredible limits: from aluminum can to art extraordinaire! The annual Granville Island Ferries Garbage Can Art Contest and Auction gives 25 artists four hours to use a little or a lot of artistic license. Each artist makes over a galvanized garbage can into a work of art. Once transformed, the cans are auctioned off, with proceeds benefiting art therapy programs at BC Childrens Hospital. For more information, call False Creek Ferries at 604-684-7781.
