New recycling exhibit opens at the Chaffee Art Center

Friday, Sept. 27, 5-7 p.m. – RUTLAND – The Chaffee Art Center, invites the community to the opening of it’s new Exhibit “Reimagined: The Art of Recycling”.  The exhibit will be both inside the mansion and outside with sculptures on our historic property. It will feature Artists of all mediums whose work includes recycled materials, as well as a special Community Gallery area where members of the community will also have recycled pieces on display.  Thanks to our in-kind sponsor, Mac Equipment & Steel Co.

Stop by this free event and enjoy a glass of wine and nibbles while you explore the galleries full of recycled art.  Chaffee artist members’ works will be on display and for sale throughout the mansion, as well as in the Gallery Shoppe that is filled with handmade treasures and gift ideas for any occasion. There are “recycled” sculptures outside near the 100-foot Pollinator Garden with native plantings, growing Sculpture Garden, and over a dozen gardens on the property.  The Exhibit is on display until Oct. 25.

As Chaffee celebrates 63 years as an art center in the Rutland Community, the public is invited to join as an artist, single or family member to help the Chaffee to continue to inspire and cultivate creativity, while impacting the vitality of our community through the arts.
