That's what we want you to share," explained Kim Healy, Dart Container's Vice President for Consumer Products Marketing. "You don't need to be an artist to participate. It could be a place you want to visit, a piece of art, something in nature—anything that lifts your spirit and brings a smile to your face. We want to see what inspires people and bring those concepts to life with our Heavy Duty paper plate designs."
