RECYCLING AND REUSING FOCUS OF NEW VISUAL ARTS SHOW AT PRICE CENTER & GARDEN

Reusing and recycling is the concept behind the latest gallery exhibit, Something Old to Something New, which features 80 innovative and inspiring artworks by 70 area artists. The exhibit is on display now through June 25 throughout the first-floor galleries of the Price Center.

Something New is a feast for the eyes and imagination with masterfully clever, colorful, and creative works made from a wide variety of common and often disposable materials. Twenty-five, mosaic-specific artworks by members of the Austin Mosaic Guild complete the exhibit in our Main Parlor. Many of the works are for sale, and a portion of any sales benefits the ongoing art efforts at the Center.

An all-Artists Reception will be held Thursday, May 26 from

6-8 p.m. and the Austin Mosaic Guild will hold a Closing Reception on Sunday, June 26 from 2-4 pm. Both receptions are free and open to the public.
