The Green Frame: An Exposition in Reclaimed Materials opens Friday, April 9, 2010. Join us for an evening reception from 6:00p.m-9:00p.m. as we celebrate the museum’s first collaboration with Builders of Hope. Builders of Hope creates affordable, green housing by rescuing and recycling these homes, turning them into new hope for working families and giving communities new life. Green Frame: An Exposition in Reclaimed Materials, celebrates this mission through the vision of local artists.

The artists featured are Jim Adams, DL Anderson, Jeff Bell, Luke Buchanan, Jason Craighead, Dave Green, André Leon Gray, Christian Karkow, Tim Kiernan, Louis St. Lewis, David McConnell, Madonna Phillips, Sarah Powers, Bob Rankin, Doug Van de Zande, and Mia Yoon.
