Get your shells
We’ll provide shells or you can collect your own.
A creative way to give back
Turn your creativity into impact
Are you an artist looking for a unique way to give back to the community and protect our beautiful beaches? We need your creative touch!
Our painted shells are small, powerful reminders of what we're working toward. Cleaner beaches, a stronger community and a deeper connection to the ocean. Each shell carries a message. Each one makes a difference.
How it works.
Anyone with a little creativity and a lot of heart can join in. Artists, kids, families and first-time volunteers. No experience needed, just show up and create.
Get creative
Paint ocean inspired designs, positive messages and environmental themes. There’s no wrong way to do it.
Share your work
Drop your completed shells at our cleanup events or contact us for dropoff locations. We’ll make sure your shells go out into the community.

Feature project
Sunken Meadow Shell Tree
A growing collection of painted shells turned into a living piece of community art. Each shell carries a message of hope, a reminder to care and a connection to the shoreline.
Together, they create a powerful visual. Small actions add up.
Why it matters.
Small art. Big impact. Your shells help inspire more people to join cleanups, spread awareness about ocean pollution and turn everyday moments into meaningful ones. And when hundreds of shells come together, they become something bigger than any one of us.
See the community in action.
Follow along with @lbcleanup for the latest painted shells.
Paint one shell. Inspire one person.
A little creativity can spark something much bigger. When we create, share and connect, we can change the way people see their community and inspire them to care for the world around them.
