Interactive Art Project Using Recycling

Eastside Arts Festival

Sat, July 19 |

    Help bring a one-of-a-kind public artwork to life using recycled materials, community collaboration, and creative transformation.

    This interactive art project begins with a spontaneous, collective painting made from vibrant colors and reused materials. Once complete, the artwork will be entirely covered in white plaster, concealing the creation beneath.

    Then, the public is invited to touch the surface.
    As hands graze the piece, the plaster will crack and fall away, slowly uncovering the hidden layers underneath and transforming the artwork in real time.

    This project flips traditional art-viewing on its head: you’re not just allowed to touch, you’re encouraged to.

    Free. Family-friendly. All are welcome to drop in between 2 and 5 PM – No ticket required!

    Come co-create, reveal, and reimagine the possibilities of recycled art.

    🎨 Led by artist Clotilde Orozco
    Clotilde Orozco is an architect, designer, and multidisciplinary artist from Madrid, now based in Vancouver. Her natural curiosity and experimental approach take shape across many forms—painting, design, installation, sculpture, ceramics, and photography. Through this diversity of practice, she explores her obsessions and cultural heritage, producing bold, one-of-a-kind works that invite participation and reflection.
