Join us for a day dedicated to celebrating and exploring the transformative power of sustainability and creativity at the Waste to Wonder 2024 Initiative event. Hosted by Ecosphere Organics in partnership with Make Food Not Waste during Detroit Month of Design in September, this event brings together artists, community members, and sustainability advocates to engage with the circular economy through art and innovation. The event will feature 2 interconnected events, each designed to inspire, educate, and foster community engagement around the theme of turning food waste into artistic and functional treasures.
There will be 2 events; (1) a public gallery and showcase on September 24, 2024 from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM, featuring interactive installations and talks on sustainability, where attendees can engage with the artworks, learn about the work being done to reduce food waste, view demos from our partners, and mingle with those working to reduce food waste, and (2) Eco-Innovators Workshop*, where participants will transform food waste into sustainable raw materials and learn how to create both artistic and functional products. This event not only highlights the innovative reuse of materials but also fosters community engagement in promoting a sustainable future.
