Recycling Rhythm: A DIY Instrument Making Workshop

Create your own musical instruments made from recycled materials with community artist Michelle Nugent from Providence CityArts for Youth. Give new life to discarded objects and discover a new world of sound. Make some music and be a part of the PCFF orchestra! Then bring your creation to the 4:15pm screening of Landfill Harmonic and help us introduce the film!

Do you recycle? Help support the workshop and bring in plastic bottles, metal bottle caps, cardboard (including paper towel rolls, tissue boxes, cereal boxes) and coffee cans.
