Rejuvenate
Joplin
is an initiative that was kicked off in November
2005 with the goal of increasing citizens’
pride in their community. Partners in the project
include The Joplin Globe, Spiva Center for the
Arts and the City of Joplin.
During a community clean-up, citizens partnered
with artists to not only pick up trash, but to
seek out treasure for an assemblage style art
project! The interesting fact is that all of the
“treasure” used to make Leonard
was trash in someone else’s eyes and found
along the streets of Joplin!
If you or your business would like to be part
of this fun and creative initiative while cleaning
up Joplin, be sure to register to be contacted
for future projects! For more information, contact
Tricia Courtney at The Joplin Globe at (417) 627-7280.
