In honor of our 40th anniversary, every week this year we are highlighting one of our past exhibitions. In 1993, we presented “Living In Balance” which featured objects of art created from recycled or reused materials. They demonstrate that many objects salvaged from the waste stream can be given new roles to extend their useful lives. Do you remember this exhibition? This image was posted on October 01, 2020.
