Calling All Artists!

Eduardo Jiménez Recycled Manatee Art
Above, two manatee pieces created from found objects by artist Eduardo Jiménez. By making artwork from trash, he ultimately hopes to bring attention to the waste that people generate and remind everyone to dispose of their items properly.

Then put your creativity to work and submit your manatee artwork to Save the Manatee Club (SMC)’s 2021 Manatee Recycled Art Contest.
