Art Exhibition: REPURPOSED - beginning with what remains
2026-03-23 08:00 - 20:00, 2026-03-24 08:00 - 20:00, 2026-03-25 08:00 - 20:00 | Haverhill Campus, 100 Elliott St, Haverhill, MA, United States
This exhibition explores repurposing as both a creative practice and a way of thinking. An invitation to look again at what has already lived a life. Working with fragments of the everyday – newsprint, metal, bro:ken ceramics, organic materials – the artist gathers what is forgotten, allowing each object to shift, not back into what it was, but toward what it might become, extending its story rather than ending it.
