Green It, Like You Mean It!
Join Artscape’s Green efforts by participating in a green activity at the festival.  Green activities include (but not limited to): recycling, composting, riding bike, taking public transportation, etc.

Recycling/Composting/Trash
Stations will be located at each food court - locations TBA

Each station will contain single stream recycling containers and food waste (composting) containers, in addition to regular barrel trash cans.

Yellow festival recycling bins and regular trash cans will be dispersed throughout the festival site.

Festival-goers, exhibitors, staff and crew are encouraged to recycle/compost whenever possible.

Food Vendors & Exhibitors

  • All Artscape food vendors must dispose of their grease in large drums.  The grease is taken to be turned into biofuel.
  • Grey water is also collected in drums and disposed of properly.
  • Artscape’s food vendors and beverage service is advised to use recyclable and compostable service ware.
  • Healthy menu items, such as salads and wraps, will be available to festival-goers as alternatives to traditional festival fare.
  • All exhibitors are encouraged to offer recyclable bags for guest merchandise and limit waste whenever possible.

Bike Parking Zone - details TBA

Festival Communication & Program

Other Initiatives

  • Artscape reuses signage, décor and props whenever possible.
    The use of public transportation is promoted as the best way to get to the festival.
  • The festival is paperless whenever possible, i.e. emailing artists’ guidelines, confirmations, etc.
  • The City’s office of Recycling will have a presence at the festival to promote to all festival-goers.
  • Artscape works closely with festival neighbors to ensure a proper clean-up post festival.
  • Staff and volunteers will be refilling their reusable water bottles from water jugs located behind the scenes, reducing the number of plastic water bottles.
