Tossed and Found II- Recycled Art Exhibit
Since last year's show was such a success, the Tossed and Found recycled art show is back, with Tossed and Found: Part Deux! A group of 14 local artists (7 returning and 7 new) are gathering together to show their new work made from recycled materials to emphasize repurposing and upcycling in the name of creativity. Come to the Salt Spring Gallery on March 10th and be inspired!
