"Holy Satire" May Exhibit

Dallas Contant

Main Gallery featuring Dallas Contant

"Restyled-Recycled" explores the intersection of environmental consciousness and artistic innovation. Attendees will experience sculpture, mixed media, and functional art crafted from items typically destined for the landfill. This exhibition highlights the creativity needed to turn trash into treasure, aligning with the gallery’s commitment to community engagement and environmental awareness.

"This exhibition challenges the viewer to look at waste differently," said Claudia Goode, gallery curator. "Our artists have taken mundane, discarded items and infused them with new life, demonstrating that art is a powerful medium for environmental messaging."

Join Dallas Contant for a Meet & Greet on Saturday, May 16th from 11:30am to 4pm  at Arts for ACT Gallery at 2265 First Street in Downtown Fort Myers.
