 For the art show, an aquarium made solely of found objects, especially trash or recycled/recyclable materials. Preferably in one of the glass display cases, the vestibule, or the auditorium foyer area to resemble an actual aquarium space. Just a few ideas below of possible sea life and materials to be used for each item.
