Toxic Art shares the story of Ohio University professor and artist John Sabraw, who transforms toxic coal mine runoff into vibrant, eco-friendly paints. Abandoned mines once left streams stained orange and lifeless, but Sabraw and his team developed an innovative process to neutralize the pollution and repurpose it into something beautiful. His artwork, exhibited worldwide, funds restoration projects like a new treatment plant for Sunday Creek, proving that creativity can fuel tangible change. By telling this story, the film highlights how art and science together can reframe problems as opportunities, inspiring people to see waste not as an end but as a beginning. Toxic Art reminds us that solutions can come from unexpected places, and that imagination, when paired with action, can transform even the most toxic legacy into hope for rivers and communities.
