A blogging site based in Madrid, Spain is calling on artists to use discarded drinking cans to create mini-masterpieces.
The site encourages artists to "Use the can as a blank canvas, express yourself on it, and send it to us. Just follow the specification: Keep the “easy open” for hanging it. The perimeter of the can is the limit. Do not use filled cans, it must be crushed."
Any individual or any group from anywhere in the world can be part of the project. The painted cans will be placed in a digital gallery on paintingcans.com and sold, displayed in a show in Madrid, and also published in a book.
The project is to support the use of mediums such as aluminum cans which are only limited to the brief time of their consumption and then not used again, and to encourage independent art. Whether its green, innovative, or just art; it is different.
You can learn more about the project at paintingcans.blogspot.com.

Thats an idea for recycling, we should do the same with all the non-recyclable packages, then make auctions and collect money for environmental causes, or hunger in africa.
