In 2022, CMC hosted its 44th annual Scrap Can Be Beautiful contest and exhibit. Since 1978, CMC has hosted this event in collaboration with the Booker T. Washington School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, Texas. Sculpture students use CMC-donated scrap metal to create metal art sculptures, which they enter into a design competition judged by art industry professionals and artists. They can also enter their creations into a silent auction, in which CMC employees can bid on the artwork.
In Poland, students from CMC’s sponsored patronage class also produced and displayed unique works of art using the metal and welding techniques they learned.
