Devine Debris and Glorious Trash

Arts at St. Johns starts the month of June with the exhibition Divine Debris and Glorious Trash, hosted at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden. The exhibit features artwork fabricated from found, discarded and recycled objects. The result is works that celebrate the reinvention of castoffs in media ranging from sculpture and assemblage, to painting, photography, jewelry and more.
