On Earth Day, Thursday, April 22, the City of Camden, Cooper’s Ferry Partnership and the Rutgers-Camden Center for the Arts will unveil “A New View-Camden,” a half-year outdoor exhibit of six family-friendly public art projects located around the city.
Funded by a $1 million Bloomberg Philanthropies Public Art Challenge grant, these large-scale, outdoor art installations specifically were designed to raise awareness about unlawful dumping of bulk waste in Camden, which costs taxpayers over $4 million annually. Among the “A New View” works will be a massive feline designed from repurposed automobiles, a 15-foot-tall steel trash collecting creature and a machine that utilizes mealworms to eat Styrofoam packaging from e-waste.
