Recycling in Action at the Cactus Gallery

April 10th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Cactus Gallery - FOUND 2Going to the Cactus Gallery is always an adventure and seeing their artwork is a memory that will stay with you forever.

The gallery is easily accessible via Metro Gold Line, Bus and by bike and there are always monthly Art Walk as well as Art Rides to their art opening parties. This upcoming show is titles FOUND and it’s the second in this series.

“The artwork in our “FOUND” show exemplifies a state of mind — a way of looking at an “obsolete” object from a new perspective and reinterpreting it so that it transcends its original and no longer valid function. Our FOUND artists have transformed the ordinary into the beautiful. They’ve collected discarded resources– used, abandoned or recovered materials, and given them another life. Our delight in FOUND art is in the PROMISE it communicates. The results entertain us with newfound ENERGY and FLAIR!

In keeping with many EARTH DAY celebrations around Los Angeles, we invite you to see recycling in action. Over 30 artists have joined to demonstrate use of wood, paper, cardboard, newspaper, plastic, glass, tile, metal, aluminum, steel, concrete, wire, toys and more. Come see how our FOUND artists have transformed objects discarded as waste and saved them from becoming landfill.”

So hop on your bike, saddle up and get out there this coming Saturday and support not only your local artists but also Mother Earth by recycling ;-)
