Take Another Look

Pop bottles, styrofoam, cardboard, bottle caps, old tires--most people would consider these items trash, but in the hands of artist Danette Rushboldt they are transformed into marvelous pieces of art. From paintings to sculptures to functional furniture, you will be amazed and inspired by what you see. Meet the artist at the free opening reception on Saturday, August 25 from noon to 4 pm. Artwork is available for purchase. Proceeds from sales benefit Penitentiary Glen Nature Center. Admission is free.
