Brown Recycling have launched a new sustainability and art project – the Brown Recycling Skip Art Challenge – that will see ten of their skips transformed into works of art in the name of good causes.
Local artists have been invited to submit a creative skip design which, if selected by a panel of judges, will form part of the firm’s fleet across Staffordshire and South Cheshire.
Proceeds from the project, that has been developed in conjunction with artist-led organisation Short Supply, will then be donated to the Dougie Mac Hospice.
Mitch Brown, Co-Managing Director at Brown Recycling, said: “We’re really excited to be launching the Brown Recycling Skip Art Challenge, and to be commissioning 10 talented artists to transform our skips with their creative designs.
“With the finished skips going into our fleet, they will bring some colour and fun to our customers across Staffordshire and South Cheshire. It’s also great to be able to support Dougie Mac in the process.
“They do such great work for those with life limiting conditions and we are always happy to do our bit to help their fundraising”.
The selected artists will work on their designs at Brown Recycling’s premises during August with the completed skips being on display at a Skip Art Challenge event in Stoke early September.
Companies have been invited sponsor a skip for the initiative.
Sponsors will have their logo featured on their skips, in the Skip Art Challenge marketing, the opportunity to meet with their artist and have their sponsored skip on site at their premises for a week post the event.
Businesses also have the opportunity to sponsor the art supply for the creative artists.
