UpCycled 2: Turning Waste into Wonder

Local and regional artists display works created from repurposed, recycled, and/or found objects and materials. The artists' works skillfully upcycled & re-imagined different types of materials to create visually satisfying and thought-provoking work. This month-long exhibit embraces the mindset of sustainability and comes just in time for Earth Day on April 22
