This Saturday April 6th, Ocean Plastic, an art show sponsored by the Surfrider Foundation Marin County Chapter, opens in Sausalito!
As part of the opening day festivities there will be an artists reception and an impressive list of guest speakers including Beth Terry, Daniella Russo, Chris Princetich and David Helvarg.
Plus, YOU can help create a 64 square foot mandala of ocean plastic! Check out the attached fliers for all of the details.

Here's a picture I took of one of Tess' pieces. Check out the detail and check out her work at the Ocean Plastic Art Show in Sausalito, Marin County, California!
