Public Reception for Repurposed - beginning with what remains
2026-04-09 17:00 - 19:00 | Haverhill Campus, 100 Elliott St, Haverhill, MA, United States
Please join us for a public reception for Repurposed – beginning with what remains.
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, broken 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. Contributing Artists:
Stephen Powers
Chris Twichell
Amy Saikia Wilson
Ena Kantardžić
