Marine Debris Art
Kauai artist, Monika Mira has partnered with the Kauai Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation to bring marine debris art education into schools and the community through workshops and exhibits. In partnership with local businesses and non-profit organizations, Mira has held marine debris art workshops at: Kalaheo School, Anaina Hou Community Gardens, Nawiliwili Yacht Club (Kauai Sailing Association), Kukui Grove Center (Kauai Society of Artists), Storybook Theatre, and Koloa Neighborhood Center. She also makes her marine debris art tutorials available on youtube. In the future, Mira will be collaborating with other artists to create some large marine debris sculptures.
Mira’s workshops include educational lectures about marine debris, and may include other scientific activities and exercises depending on the needs of the school or organization. Many of her students will participate in beach cleanups before creating the final pieces of art.
Mira also holds annual ghost net Christmas Wreath Workshops. Please check our event schedule or Facebook page for more info (this class fills up fast).
