– Painting Inspired Creativity Around Sustainability and Social Outreach

Unleash Your Creativity and Make a Difference
PiCASSO, in partnership with ResQ, invites you to participate in unique art events across Mesa and the greater Phoenix area. Our mission is to merge creativity with sustainability, transforming standard recycling bins and used vape devices into vibrant community artworks that encourage battery and vape recycling while promoting environmental responsibility.
Transforming ResQ Bins Through Art
At our events, volunteers of all ages and skill levels come together to decorate ResQ Bins using various artistic techniques. Each bin starts with a white base coat, ready to be transformed into a masterpiece. We provide all necessary supplies on-site, including airbrushes, hand brushes, markers, and glitter. Once your artwork is complete, the bins are clear-coated for durability and prepared for deployment throughout the community.
Collaborative Art Projects with ResQ Vapes
In addition to bin painting, PiCASSO collaborates with ResQ Vapes to commission large-scale art projects that repurpose used vape devices. By incorporating these materials into creative installations, we divert thousands of vapes from landfills, raising awareness about the importance of recycling and environmental conservation. These projects not only beautify public spaces but also serve as powerful reminders of the impact of waste and the potential for transformation through art.
Community Engagement and Recognition
Your creative contribution doesn't end with the painting. Volunteers have the opportunity to share their names, stories, or inspirations, which are added to the bin’s profile for public recognition. This personal touch connects the artist with the community, fostering a sense of ownership and pride in promoting sustainability.
Family-Friendly and Social Art Experiences
Our events cater to diverse groups:
Family-Friendly Gatherings: Hosted by schools and churches, these events provide a safe, inclusive environment for families to collaborate on art projects while learning about sustainability.
Creative Social Experiences: In partnership with recovery groups and social art studios, we offer adult-oriented sessions where participants can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, perhaps with a glass of wine, as they unleash their creativity.
