Students Recycled Fashions on Display at “Yes We Can” Center
North Hempstead, NY – North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the Town Board announced that the “Yes We Can” Community Center will feature an art exhibit highlighting by local students’ recycled fashions throughout the month of May. Ten projects will be on display that include clothing and accessories created from recycled materials in an effort to show off students’ creativity while raising awareness of the importance of recycling.
“North Hempstead students have channeled their passion for our environment into these creative projects that even ‘Project Runway’ would be impressed with,” said Supervisor Bosworth. “I hope all of our residents will plan a visit soon to the ‘Yes We Can’ Center to view these amazing fashions.”
The projects on display will be:
