Found Some Found Art

If you don't know what Found Art is; its the ultimate in recycling. Taking "one man's junk" and making it "another man's treasure".  Found art was the foundation of my holiday giving this year as I re-purposed old hats, swimsuits and jewelry into cool and useful presents. And they got rave reviews too! 
Coming up January 9th the North Carolina Museum of Art is not letting being closed stop them from some interesting programming. They will host a free event at the Cameron Village Public Library at 2:00pm, The Art Hour: Found Objects. While it is a program for kids, I find those events targeted to children to be very engaging and inspiring. Registration is required. Click the link below for more information.

After their event, head off to the Scrap Exchange in Durham for more "junk to treasure"!
