Flotsam and Jetsam Exhibition

Each year a passionate volunteer team from Latitude Gallery Jewellery clean up the Abrolhos Islands by collecting flotsam and jetsam during the March long weekend. What’s flotsam you’re thinking? Flotsam is defined as debris in the water that was not deliberately thrown overboard, often as a result from a shipwreck or accident. Jetsam are debris that are deliberately thrown overboard by a crew of a ship in distress, most often to lighten the ship’s load.

Items collected will include plastics, ropes, old pots, pot floats, wood and glass. Their team encourages you to explore your artistic side and gather some of their finds from the Geraldton Fishermen’s Wharf on Monday 1 March 2021 between 8am to 12pm to recycle into an interesting and creative work of art! There’s even prizes up for grabs!

This art is displayed for the month of May at Latitude Jewellers.
