Five locations. Six sculptures. One important message. 🌊From May through September 2026, the Topeka Zoo & Conservation Center, in collaboration with the Topeka Rotary Club, will bring the internationally recognized Washed Ashore® exhibit to Topeka.
🐳 This powerful outdoor exhibit features six monumental sculptures of ocean animals, all created from discarded plastic and other debris collected primarily along coastlines. Each piece tells a story—about our everyday choices, plastic pollution, and the shared responsibility we have to protect our planet.
🥤🚮 Washed Ashore® transforms trash into thought-provoking art, making the invisible impacts of plastic pollution visible from northeast Kansas to the global ocean.
This exhibit brings the Topeka community together - there will be a sculpture exhibited at each of the following locations:
- Topeka Zoo & Conservation Center (x2) 🦈
- NOTO Arts District 🪼
- Memorial Union at Washburn University 🐧
- Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library 🐠
- Kansas Children's Discovery Center 🪸
