The EPA estimates that 75% of the American waste stream is recyclable, but we only recycle about 30% of it. People have taken to eBay and CraigsList for years to rehome their used goods in exchange for cash, and now many are utilizing give-away sites like Freecycle.org and BuyNothing too. Artists are often among the most conscientious recyclers, by reusing others’ discards to create unique art.

Join us at Del Ray Artisans from February 1-24, 2019 for New Beginnings art exhibit featuring beautiful artwork created by reuse. These creations incorporate at least half of their materials from either found objects, recycled materials or older works of art. Meet the curator and some of the artists at the opening reception on Friday, February 1 from 7-9pm.

Four workshops are scheduled during this show – register before they fill up!

The art exhibit, opening reception, and workshops are at Del Ray Artisans gallery in the Colasanto Center, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia 22301. Gallery hours are: Thursdays 12-6pm, Fridays 12-9pm, Saturdays 12-9pm, and Sundays 12-6pm. The gallery is free, open to the public, and accessible.

For more information, please contact the curator Tracy Wilkerson (recycledworks@yahoo.com) or Director of Curating Brittany Gabel (Curating@DelRayArtisans.org).
