Rescued, Repurposed, Re-Imagined West Las Vegas Library Gallery Exhibition

We are honored to be asked again by Las Vegas Library District gallery curators, Darren Johnson and Bee Aspinall to be part of a gallery exhibition at the West Las Vegas Library art gallery.

This is the 3rd time that we will be showing our members work in a galllery setting.  The title of this exhibition is "Rescued, Repurposed, Re-Imagined".  Contributors were asked to try to rescue items/objects and fashion them into a new creation.  

We got some very fun and creative submissions.  Take a look.
