The Salvage Show: A first for First Friday
From my post on The Sunsphere is NOT A Wigshop:
First Friday is just around the bend, and I'd like to cordially invite you to an exhibition organized and curated by yours truly.
If you are unaware, I'm the Architectural Salvage Coordinator for Knox Heritage and am also an artist. I'm merging these two worlds into one the night of April 1 for The Salvage Show.
There are twenty artists involved in this exhibition who are making fine art or functional design pieces using materials from Knox Heritage's stash of architectural salvage. The idea is to re-create something new from the materials that can't be used in their original manner anymore.
Here's a sneak peek of what you'll see at the show:
Reclaimed Lamp by Shawn Poynter
Pearls for Swine by Katie Ries
Sweetgum balls, felted wool, wooden curtain rings
Dale Mackey's piece
Stool by Brian Wagner
I'm very excited about this exhibition and hope you can join us. If you are so inclined to purchase something, proceeds will benefit Knox Heritage, which is a non-profit, as well as the respective artist.
