Second Time Around Art Exhibit
September 5–27, 2025
Opening Reception: Friday, September 5 from 7–9pm

Many physical items we choose to remove from our lives can be sold/given/donated to others rather than going into our world’s overburdened landfills. It takes a conscious choice to acquire items from others rather than purchasing new items at a retail store. It also takes a little effort to offer something no longer needed to others rather than just tossing it in the trash or recycle bin. The Second Time Around art exhibit at Del Ray Artisans gallery focuses on this thought-change concept of sustainable creativity and enhancing the artistic environmental ethos, from the featured artwork utilizing recycled materials to the special workshops and events held during the exhibit.

Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 5 between 7-9pm to meet curator Tracy Wilkerson and the artists.

The Second Time Around art exhibit runs from September 5–27, 2025 at Del Ray Artisans gallery in the Colasanto Center, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia 22301. Gallery hours are Thursday 12-6pm, Friday 12-9pm, Saturday 12-6pm, and Sunday 12-6pm (closed September 28).

The gallery is free, open to the public, and accessible. Del Ray Artisans, a 501(3)(c) nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote art for the benefit of artists and the community.
