SCRAP-DC presents their second annual juried group show at the Tubman-Manhan Gallery where artists were required to create work using 75% recycled materials.  This year’s theme centers around creating a shelter, a “Fallout Shelter” to be precise where DC’s scrap is reused and re-purposed.  See website for hours.
