Celebrate Reuse!

Celebrate Reuse! is a creative reuse Pop-Up in the Art Lab of Fort Collins, consisting of a ReUse Art Show and other activities featuring predominantly recycled, repurposed, and rescued materials.  The event is 5-days, October 16-20th, and is free and open to the public.  The intent is to inspire and amuse, as well as build support for a local creative reuse center (CRC).

I will have work in the show as well as helping create  community weaving project on site using recycled materials.  Come by on Friday October 17th from 6-9 pm for the opening reception.  Or visit the Art Lab on Sunday from 12-5 to learn how to make coiled baskets and weave a bit on the community project!
