UpCycled 3: Turning Waste into Wonder

Sponsored by: Florida Express Waste & Recycling

Local and regional artists display works created from repurposed, recycled, and/or found objects and materials. The artists' works skillfully upcycled & re-imagined different types of materials to create visually satisfying and thought-provoking work. This month-long exhibit embraces the mindset of sustainability and comes just in time for Earth Day on April 22

This exhibit will be on display from April 4-26, 2025 at The Brick Gallery in downtown Ocala. For a list of events, please visit mcaocala.org. For questions or purchase inquiry, please contact gallery@mcaocala.com or call during business hours 352.369.1500.
