Join us for the 11th Annual Recycled Arts Resource Expo (RARE)! RARE is an event that highlights creative reuse in the form of art through a juried exhibit at our Allied Arts Gallery. RARE also promotes art organizations and facilities that incorporate sustainability in their facilities and programs. One of our main objectives for this event is to educate the community on the role that the arts can play in the sustainability movement. Attendees are inspired to take home innovative ideas that recognize the value of using resources creatively. 

This year, in addition to community submissions, we have 4 featured artists who specialize in creative reuse: Karen Hanrahan, Frank Frazee, Daelinar, and Alene Johnson. Karen Hanrahan makes one of a kind quilt-like collage art with paper. Frank Frazee paints, draw and sculpts using recycled and found materials. Daelinar combines mixed media and assemblage with natural and found elements to create intricately detailed art. Alene Johnson creates assemblage art made from altered, found and discarded objects.
