Richard Levy Gallery is pleased to present The Art of ReUse, an in-depth exploration into reuse and sustainability through art, fashion, and design. The Art of ReUse encompasses a gallery exhibition, a pop up boutique, a runway fashion show followed by a one-evening-only designer sale, and a community programming day. Working with textiles, wearable art, jewelry, and mixed media, The Art of ReUse examines how previously used materials can be repurposed and reimagined.

The exhibition includes works by Parron Allen, Ilse Bolle, Susanna Carlisle, Bruce Davis, Nika Feldman, John Garrett, Francesca Tobias (Desert Flower Bridal), Shawn Holtaway Keller (Scattered Light Stitchery), Samantha Manion-Chavez, Kailani Mayer (Maman Atelier), Simona Monnet (Chula Punk), Alfredo Quiroz, and Tschaner Sefas (31:13). This exhibition highlights inventive approaches transforming found and previously owned materials into new works of art and design.

In the The Art of ReUse pop up boutique, visitors can purchase wearables by designers such as 31:13, Parron Allen, CLED, Maman Atelier, Samantha Manion-Chavez, Quinton Anderson, Alfredo Quiroz, Salt Grass Jewelry, Scattered Light Stitchery, and Yaudi.
