Divided Art 24’
Contributed by MVR
Matsu Valley Rebuild, the Valley’s non-profit used building materials store is having a fundraiser! With the help of local valley artists MVR is hosting a one-of-a-kind repurposed art exhibit and auction February 21-24…it’s called Divided Art.
Local artists have shared their talents and creativity in a repurposed art project that turns used bi-fold closet doors into room dividers and pieces of art. The generous participating artists took used doors from Matsu Valley Rebuild and have unleashed their creativity to give these outcasts of the closet door world new life and a new identity.
Those who attend Divided Art can see the wonderful talent that we have here in the Matsu Valley and even have an opportunity to own one of these cool statement pieces. These one-of-a-kind room dividers are great for creating a private space such as reading nook or changing area, blocking out unsightly equipment or appliances, perhaps even for providing privacy at a window without having to close the blinds or black out all the natural light. It could even be a mobile art piece that moves around the house! You may have a need for one of these awesome pieces already or just fall in love with one when you see it then find a need.
The finished pieces will be on display at Matsu Valley Rebuild and available for bidding through a silent auction. Attendees will have an opportunity to learn more about the artists behind the work and to bid on their favorite… winning bidders get to take theirs home! The auction will close Saturday February 24 at 5pm, all proceeds benefit Matsu Valley Rebuild.
