Trash or treasure? During his visits to Philadelphia, Henry Taylor found inspiration at a construction and demolition waste management site and was able to source many materials through a partnership with RAIR (Recycled Artist in Residency). Following Henry’s example, join us to glean materials and inspiration from FWM’s own recycled materials archive to create assemblages and found object sculptures. Learn more about RAIR at rairphilly.org.

Organized in conjunction with Henry Taylor: Nothing Change, Nothing Strange.
