When a scheduled exhibit had to be postponed, the Janice Mason Art Museum seized the opportunity to expand on an idea by a casual visitor who often peruses the antique shops in Cadiz for materials for his art.

ReCreation evolved as an exhibit made from repurposed, reused, and recycled materials. The exhibit is not a competition, and artists were charged no entry fee.

“Even though the number of entries is light, this exhibit is fun and thought-provoking,” remarked JMAM Board President Bryan Blaylock. “Seeing this art may inspire someone to think twice before throwing something away.”

ReCreation opens Aug. 14 and runs through Oct. 4.?Due to scheduling conflicts, no opening reception is planned.

The Janice Mason Art Museum is open Tuesdays – Saturdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. Evening hours can be arranged for group tours.?Admission is free; donations are greatly appreciated.

The Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, supports the Janice Mason Art Museum with state tax dollars and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.
