Upcycled art and recycled fashion at ‘Re:Create: The Art of Upcycle’ event in Ybor

One man's trash is another man's work of art, this being the case at the upcoming 'Re:Create: The Art of Upcycle' event. It's only fitting that the event be held at the Project 3.0 site itself: the historic "greenovated" Roosevelt in Ybor.

This unique art show will feature recycled art by local artists, such as Carlos Pons Paz, David Rothman, Joe Traina Photography, John Steelman (Ratsoap Studios) Isaiah Perkins (Boundless Creativity), Efren Rebugio Jr. (Everyday Research), and Xzanthia, to name a few.

They'll also be presenting a 'Re-Fashion' show by John Steelman of Ratsoap Studios, a sneak peek of the Project 3.0 documentary, as well as a lineup of some of the best electro/pop/house DJs in the Bay, including Pauly Crush, Christian Noir, and DJ Noi.

Another great perk for attending: there will be free food and drink!

Check this event out on Saturday, January 30, at 9 pm at the The Roosevelt: 1812 N. 15th St. Ybor City, Tampa. $10 cover.
