The Last Straw

The Last Straw

Installed: August 2019

The Public Art Committee was approached by a Pompano Beach summer Camp Hula Mundo to temporarily display an artwork created by their Green Team camp. The Public Art Committee is proud to support such a wonderful artwork created by young and budding artists in the community. A group of Junior Counselors in Training, in their efforts to clean the beach and protect the environment, decided to investigate the origin and history of plastic straws. From there, they came up with the idea to create an artwork entirely out of straws. The artwork creation was lead by Lead Artist Makena Vargo. It promotes recycling and the process of upcycling everyday objects that normally get tossed away as trash. The artwork will be on display until February 2021.
