Tony Palms mixed media on music paper a.w.palms@mac.com From every day living springs all manner of expressions in art, literature, poetry, dance, music, theater... reminding us to rediscover the breathing heart within this human form. That is when being this tiny speck of dust on this little rock in this vast cosmological space becomes the most incredible event.

Michelle Phillips ink on photography iartmichelle@me.com Interested in patterns and conveying deep spiritual meaning through deconstruction and seemingly simple ideas.

Princess Simpson Rashid acrylic on canvas prashid@theswordandbrush.com www.princessrashid.com My current body of work explores the relationship between abstraction in science and music. I draw upon the connection by using color, perception and symbolism. Im specifically interested in the way the eye, ear and brain communicate to enable visual perception.

Karen Spears mixed media k.spears@me.com www.KSpearsArt.com My interest lies in exploring the visual culture around me and the manner in which individuals move through that space. Artistically, this has manifested itself in layered imagery of figure and texture within created spaces.

Richard Stewart fine art photography rstewart@galleryartphotos.com www.galleryartphotos.com To me, a fine art photograph starts with a compelling image that captures the viewers attention and imagination, evoking some feeling or emotion, creating unique images by controlling light and tonal values and eliminating elements that distract through a variety of techniques.

Michael White photography rorymadstudios@verizon.net www.rorymadstudios.com I like to take my images to the edge of reality and give a glimpse of what I see in my minds eye.

Mary May Witte acrylic on canvas marymaywitte@me.com marymaywitte.com Painting feeds the hunger I feel for creativity. I felt that hunger at a very early age My work now is inspired by familiar landscapes, the beauty of birds, animals and flowers, and the simple forms revealed in boats and architecture.

Leadership Bartow Class XV Art and Culture Day Project bartowchamber.com A hands on project, a black box designed and drawn with pastels by each classmate as they explore and express their inner artist. The boxes are finished with a decorative knob on the bottom and when hung allows the boxes to spin allowing the observer to see all four sides while standing in one spot.

In more than 8,600 communities, Americans can take advantage of curbside recycling, where recyclables are placed in special bins and picked up by the local garbage collector. Republic operates 76 materials recovery facilities nationwide. At these plants, any trash that is mixed in with the recyclables is removed and the rest of the items are sorted into specific types. What do materials that are recycled become? Cardboard become new cardboard and facing paper for gypsum board. Newspapers & magazines become new papers and cereal boxes. Aluminum becomes new beverage containers. Glass becomes highway reflector markings and home dcor items like backsplashes. Plastic becomes new plastic containers, lumber or carpet and fleece sweatshirts.
