Exhibit Dates: September 5-27, 2025 with Opening Reception: Friday, September 5 from 7-9 pm, Del Ray Artisans, 2704 Mount Vernon Ave., Alexandria, VA 22301. Many physical items we choose to remove from our lives can be sold/given/donated to others rather than going into our world’s overburdened landfills. It takes a conscious choice to acquire items from others rather than purchasing new items at a retail store. It also takes a little effort to offer something no longer needed to others rather than just tossing it in the trash or recycle bin. The Second Time Around art exhibit at Del Ray Artisans gallery focuses on this thought-change concept of sustainable creativity and enhancing the artistic environmental ethos, from the featured artwork utilizing recycled materials to the special workshops and events held during the exhibit. Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 5 between 7-9pm to meet curator Tracy Wilkerson and the artists.
