METAL PETALS + HEALING ROOTS | Art Exhibition and Silent Auction
The Metal Museum, in collaboration with Evergreen Presbyterian, will be hosting an exhibition featuring artwork created out of gun parts: “Metal Petals + Healing Roots”.
The exhibition will open with a reception and sale of the items (there will be a wide price-range for pieces for sale), with larger items staying on display for the community for one month.
This year, volunteers collected and disarmed 55 guns through a safe surrender Guns to Gardens event on March 1. Many of these guns were brought in by families who wished to dispose of them safely, felt unsafe having them at home, or had experienced a tragedy because of them.
Proceeds from the sale will go back into the Guns to Gardens safe surrender program and to the artist participants. If you can’t make it to the reception, the larger pieces will stay on view at Evergreen Presbyterian through mid-May.
