On a chilly Saturday morning, Geraldine the Dump Truck backed into a vacant lot in Boulder, Colorado. Over 60 school aged kids rushed towards the contents, like a giant piñata spilling out onto the frozen earth. For the next four hours the student artists worked alongside community leaders, CU students, and artist mentors creating art from trash. … even the snowman got spray painted!
The Dumpster Squad would like to thank the community partners who came together and helped to create the first ever Vacant Lot Dump: the scrapsisters, Tebo Development Company, McGuckin Hardware, The Dairy Center for the Arts, Growing Up Boulder, 1- 800 Got Junk, Western Disposal, re!, Scrib Coworking, Tokkers, Rick Baker Insurance, ReSource Tool Library, Morgan Creek Ventures, Riverside Building, T/aco, Laughing Goat Coffee, Mountain Sun Brewery, and Dairy Queen. The Vacant Lot Dump, creating opportunity one scrap at a time!
