ARUCAD Students Work Exhibited in America

Following the Sustainable Art competition called “From Broken to Beautiful”, organized in cooperation with Arkın University of Creative Arts and Design (ARUCAD) and BOCCHI, which is a leader in the bathroom and kitchen products industry with 70 years of experience, the winning works were exhibited at the prestigious KBIS Trade Fair held in Las Vegas.

From Broken to Beautiful exhibition

The competition called “From Broken to Beautiful”, which was held by BOCCHI by re-evaluating kitchen and bathroom sinks that were industrially produced but damaged or broken for various reasons, using the creativity of ARUCAD students, stood out as a platform emphasizing the importance of sustainable art. The exhibited works contributed to increasing environmental awareness by supporting the “Zero Waste” goal by recycling and reusing materials in artistic creations.
