ART’ed Instead Of Discarded

The return of Geauga Park District’s discARTed Recycled Art Exhibition should see more than 200 pieces of artwork on display at The West Woods Nature Center in Russell Township.

Meet the Artists, an opening event featuring refreshments and live music performed on instruments made of recycled materials, will take place on Feb. 17 from 2-4 p.m.

While discARTed will remain on display daily Feb. 19 through April 15, Meet the Artists allows guests to be among the first to view the show – all functional, decorative and youth art made of discarded/found materials.

For a free, all-ages discARTed experience for families, discARTed Family Art Day is scheduled for March 2 from 1-4 p.m. Drop in between these hours to create several make-n-take projects from recycled materials, then enjoy refreshments while viewing the exhibition. No registration is required to create or participate.

Also, just down the street at Artisan Corner Gallery for the duration of the exhibition, view a companion collection of handmade artwork made from recycled medium by discARTed artisans, with a selection of unique artwork under $60.

Sweet Geauga Maple

Join for Sweet Maple: How to Make Maple Confections on Feb. 23, from 1-2:30 p.m., at The West Woods Nature Center.

Two local maple producers – James Miller of Sugar Valley Maple and Tom Salo of Salo Maple – look forward to leading the program as they demonstrate several ways to use Geauga County’s liquid gold. Salo will demonstrate maple-coated nuts, maple candy and maple sugar, while Miller will demonstrate maple cotton candy and maple cream.

Registration is not required to attend this demonstrative seasonal event.
