Recycled Heart Exhibit Opens in #ABQ on Friday, February 2

Art and recycling goes hand-in-hand. Artists are, nowadays, transforming old, recycled and reused objects into amazing pieces of contemporary art.

Access to the arts is a social justice issue.

ArtStreet, a program of Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless, and Harwood Art Center cordially invite the public to an opening reception to this year's exhibit of Recycled Heart on Friday, Feb. 2, 2018 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Harwood Art Center, 7th Street and Mountain Road in Albuquerque (map). Light snacks and refreshments will be served.

The exhibit, which features mixed media and recycled art by ArtStreet artists, will be displayed Feb. 2 to Feb. 23, 2018.

Bringing the injustice of poverty and homelessness together, Recycled Heart is uniquely poised to capture the diverse, distinct, and highly individual responses of ArtStreet artists’ interpretation of their community experiences in relation to poverty and homelessness.

"The show at Harwood is an open and quirky but artistic setting for emerging artists at ArtStreet. Harwood has always been supportive of AHCH and ArtStreet," said AHCH board member Evelyn Kuhn. "It has validated and helped me bring out the artist in me. There is an artist in everyone.”
