This McDonald's Canada art series has been created in collaboration with The Rogerie, and a group of Canadian and Indigenous artists from across the country. The art series celebrates the brand's transition to paper straws and sees some of the remaining plastic straws transformed by The Rogerie into trays that act as the canvas. A total of 15 artistic participated in the art series with each one creating a work of art that highlights their individual perspectives on the environment and sustainability.
The trays made for the McDonald's Canada art series are being donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) across Canada where they can be put on display or auctioned off to raise funds for the location.
