A gala and auction, Salvations serves to uplift a culture of creative reuse, demonstrating to our community that reclaimed materials have extraordinary value. Hosted by the Green Project, a New Orleans-based environmental nonprofit, at the beautiful City Park Arbor Room at Popp Fountain, the evening event includes a locally crafted dinner, open bar and live music. Anchoring the event is a Salvage Design Competition that calls upon local designers in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast to create furniture, lighting and functional art wholly out of salvage materials. Juried by a team of professional artists, appraisers and architects, the competition challenges both the designers and event patrons to discover that one’s trash can turn into another’s treasure. Each piece is judged on craftsmanship, creativity in the use of salvage materials, functionality and overall aesthetic. Six top prizes are awarded, including Best in Show, and all pieces are auctioned in support of both the designers and the Green Project.
