We educate communities about the process of creative material REUSE & human environmental impact.
Our Mission
At Portal Arts Collective, we believe that art has the power to transform not only the way we see the world, but also the way we interact with it. That's why our mission is to inspire and empower our community to turn post-consumer waste and trash into stunning and thought-provoking art installations that promote sustainability, creativity, and social change.
Portal Arts Collective creates a positive impact for our local community by working with a wide variety of post-consumer waste and trash art installations.
Here are the ways we create impact:
Raising awareness about sustainability: By showcasing art installations made from discarded materials, Portal Arts Collective help’s raise awareness about the environmental impact of consumer waste and the importance of sustainable practices. This can inspire individuals and businesses in the community to adopt more eco-friendly behaviours.
Fostering creativity: Portal Arts Collective's focus on turning trash into art installations encourages creative thinking and resourcefulness. This can inspire community members to think more creatively about other challenges they face in their personal or professional lives.
Providing a sense of community: By providing a space for artists, makers, and activists to connect and collaborate, Portal Arts Collective can help build a sense of community around sustainability and art-making. This creates opportunities for new friendships, partnerships, and even business ventures.
Contributing to the local economy: As Portal Arts Collective grows and becomes more well-known in the community, it has the potential to attract visitors and create opportunities for local businesses, such as cafes or shops, to benefit from increased foot traffic.
There are several ways in which the local community can get involved with Portal Arts Collective and contribute to its mission:
