These Sculptures Made Of Washed Up Garbage Are The Coolest Art On The Lakefront Right Now

Several sculptures of marine life made from garbage washed ashore are now perched along Lake Michigan—and they are some of the coolest art on the Third Coast.

    “Since the project began, 10,000 volunteers have removed more than 38,000 pounds of plastic trash—largely single-use plastics—from over 300 miles of beaches,” the Shedd’s website says. “Ninety-five percent of the debris collected has been used in more than 60 sculptures so far.”
