From trash can to the gallery wall

"Art" and "rubbish" are not two words that budding artists would use together to describe their work. However, for Spanish non-profit art association, Drap-Art, the rubbish is the art.

Drap-Art encourages artists to transform discarded items into works of art.

The organization recently touched down for the first time in Beijing to prepare for the Recycling Art Exhibition, to be held at the Spanish Cultural Center, the Instituto Cervantes, from Thursday.
