The Chaffee Art Center, Your Center for Creativity, invites the community to the opening of our new Exhibit "Reimagined II: The Art of Recycling” on Friday, September 12th from 5pm to 7pm. Back by popular demand, this is our 2nd annual exhibit featuring recycling art in many forms.
The exhibit will showcase Artists of all mediums whose work includes recycled materials, as well as a special Community Gallery area where members of the community will also have recycled pieces on display. Stop by this free event and enjoy a glass of wine and nibbles while you explore the galleries full of recycled art. Exhibit on display until October 24th.
Chaffee artist members’ works will also be on display and for sale throughout the mansion, as well as in the Gallery Shoppe that is filled with handmade treasures and gift ideas for any occasion. Be sure to take time to explore the 1890’s architecture and history, as well as the Vermont Samplers as we continue to showcase them during the 2025 Vermont Sampler Driving Tour, so be sure to take time to experience the handiwork of schoolgirls from 1700-1800. https://anniversary250.vermont.gov/
