    Washed ashore Bandon

    Delightful art from trash found on the sea! Such imagination and creativity-we adored browsing through the art sea creature artifacts formed from water bottles and lighters - the stuff people cast aside in our oceans! So thrilled to find the exhibit is traveling- spread the word! Go if you haven't already - well worth the trip!

    " I get by with a little help from my friends" Wonderful way to pass time if you're in the area. This place is a warm welcome and everyone is so knowledgeable. They are taking trash from the beaches of southern Oregon and turning it to beautiful artwork. The sorting tables were a blast. I recommend you stop by even just for a few minutes to help out since we are all friends here.

    Great museum that showcases art work from trash collected from the sea and ocean. It's sad to see how much trash is collected each year, but the gallery used the collected bottles, cans and such and recreates sea art. They have art pieces of turtles, starfishes, whale rib cage (made out of bottles), and other pieces you'll have to see for yourself when you are there. Great for kids as well, and informative to show the problem of pollution plaguing our seas and beaches.

    The exhibits are amazing! Can't put into works how artistic and well made the creatures are. So intricate and thoughtful.

    Very cool! Washed Ashore is a traveling exhibit of art made from various bits of garbage found washed ashore on local beaches. Pretty straightforward. A grim reminder of how shitty we treat this planet, but put forth in an artful, passionate way. Right down in the heart of Bandon is a huge fish made from varying shades of orange and yellow plastic bits. So sad to think that this is just a tiny, almost negligible fraction of the huge amount of garbage that just floats in our oceans, poisoning our seas. Ugh. Kudos for the creativity, ambition, and incredibly important message. It was really cool to stop and see this on our way through town last summer.

    A truly inspiring place. They use trash collected by volunteers off of the southern Oregon coast to make art and foster awareness of the harmful affects of pollution in our environment. You can be part of the artwork as well, children or adults, can help anytime with different phases of different projects. When you leave you feel enlightened and apart of something wonderful.

    Incredible experience! The staff was so friendly, approached us and told us about the exhibit and where they are featured, it was an educational experience as well! We learned about waste in this world and left looking at plastic use in a different light!

    What a cool way to bring awareness to the ocean!

    This little town is full of surprises! A really cool exhibit founded by a professor of want to bring awareness to the need to protect the oceans. Very unique and such a high quality of work. Wow!

    See all

    What an amazing store, and you will feel so much more knowledgeable about the trash in our ocean when you leave.

    CAS has been extremely difficult to work with. My lab has been forced to use them for the past…read moreseveral years and their customer service is constantly below par. Everyone in our lab jokes and makes fun of their inconsistent results and shoddy customer service. No one I have worked with thinks highly of them, but we use them because that's what everybody always does when they need a transparency printed. They make errors translating files, blame the error on us, and then charge for the extra time to retranslate the files. These "set-up" fees have been increasing over time to the point that they are outrageous. The problem is that they have a Purchase Order agreement with my university's purchasing department and so we have all been stuck shelling out way too much money for their services. But I have had it, my coworkers have had it, and we are lobbying our purchasing department to use their competitors instead.

    I would not recommend them at all. They have suspect business practices when it comes to these…read moreextra translation fees. Their customer service is way below average. They at times appear rude and unprofessional in their correspondences. For example, they went ahead and processed an order without an approval from us. I have had a number of discussions from many of my colleagues on email and social sites about their poor service. Some customer testimonials date back as far as 2010. Here are a few from my colleagues: 1) They messed up my proofs too, then they charged me for doing it again, they are terrible. 2) so we print transparency masks for our microfab instead of using chrome ones. unfortunately there is kind of a monopoly on the market for doing so, and this company seems to find new ways to annoy us every time we send an order (which is probably once a month). they assess charges for file translation (i.e. opening the files we send on their computer and then hitting 'print') and we can't get a straight answer as to what type of files they will accept. the first file you send them is always wrong and it usually takes about 10 emails back and forth to get a transparency sheet printed with your design 3)This whole time I thought it was my fault. I have literally sent them the exact same file with a few changes and the parts that remain unchanged end up being messed up in the translation! I have asked them so many times how to avoid it and they never give me a straight answer either 4)Can't believe I have left almost four years and the CAD /ART drama is still going on! 5)we use them too... i hate how they charge us for "translation fees" even when we have already converted the files for them... ughhhhh! i agree, these guys are terrible 6) I used CAD/Art for the first time and it was not inspiring 7)you'd think that if you claimed to support a standard like postscript or DXF that's been around for literally more years than i have been alive, you would actually have tools that actually and correctly understood those standards, but that is because you are evidently not CAD/Art. 8) We all know their customer service is really bad and random. As Forrest Gump would say: Sending a mask to CadArt is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
