We are planning new events and you can help.
ReVision is interested in partnering with artists who work with recycled materials, trash fashion designers, and environmentally conscious corporations. We are looking into 2022 with an interest in showcasing the importance of proper waste disposal and sustainability through hosting trash fashion shows, sculpture walks, and art sales.
