High-Energy Art Contests

Red Bull Art of Can (UPDATE)

The annual Red Bull Art of Can Exhibition will be held this July in Houston, Texas.

Showcases of the recycled art medium seem to become more and more elaborate each year, since the first such exhibition in 1997.

While this annual event seems to focus specifically on Red Bull cans as sculpting material, other soda brands can be sure to follow suit.

For environmentalists, curators, and art enthusiasts alike, this type of event can keep everyone happy.
