As one famous idiom explains: “One’s trash is another person’s treasure.” What is useless to one maybe valuable to another. Artist Bob Van Breda took this expression to a new level when he created his exhibit “JUNK.” This exhibit is a demonstration of creativity and interactive art. One unique feature of “JUNK” is that it allows viewers to look at the art from an interactive perspective, and judge the art.Viewers look at various junk and other items and determine if they have aesthetic significance, cultural value, historical value, or if the items are “simply junk.” This exhibit allows the viewers to see ordinary items in a whole new way, and the interacive quality of the exhibit strengthens the community’s overall understanding of visual arts.

The Creative Arts Center in Manhattan Beach, features art from Local and international artists. The curator for this exhibit is ARTS Manhattan Chairman of the Board, Homeira Goldstein. The exhibit opened this past December and will remain open until February 2, 2013.
