Rejuvenate
Joplin
is
an initiative that was kicked off in November 2005
with the goal of increasing citizens’ pride
in their community. Partners in the project include
The Joplin Globe, Spiva Center for the Arts and the
City of Joplin.
During a community clean-up, citizens partnered with
artists to not only pick up trash, but to seek out
treasure for an assemblage style art project! The
interesting fact is that all of the “treasure”
used to make Leonard
was trash in someone else’s eyes and found along
the streets of Joplin!
If you or your business would like to be part of this
fun and creative initiative while cleaning up Joplin,
be sure to register to be contacted for future projects!
For more information, contact
Tricia Courtney at The Joplin Globe at (417) 627-7280.
