“Reimagined III: The Art of Recycling”

Back for the 3rd year — Recycling Exhibit Opening Reception at the Chaffee Art Center July 24!

The Chaffee Art Center, Your Center for Creativity, invites the community to the opening of our new Exhibit “Reimagined III: The Art of Recycling” on Friday, July 24th from 5pm to 7pm.  Back by popular demand, this is our 3rd 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 Sept. 4.

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 affordable handmade treasures and gift ideas for any occasion. Be sure to take time to explore the architecture and history of our 1890s Queen Anne Victorian Mansion. Plan to meet a friend and cozy up in one of our many seating areas. Free Wi-Fi available.  Plus, don’t forget to check out our 100-foot Pollinator Garden with native plantings, growing Sculpture Garden, and over a dozen gardens on the property. 

While here, picture your next event, bridal shower, wedding, birthday, meeting, or retreat being held in our beautiful mansion, fondly known by its first owners as Sunny Gables. Hours: Thursday-Friday 10am–5pm; Saturday 10am–3pm. Private appointments available by request.

As we celebrate 65 years as an art center in the Rutland Community, we also invite you to join as an artist, single or family member to help the Chaffee to continue to inspire and cultivate creativity, while positively impacting the vitality of our community through the arts.
