It's Easy Beading Green
April 1 - September 30, 2012
Admission: Free

It's Easy Beading Green is the result of a community art project which was designed to engage participants and viewers in a dialogue about the need for repurposing materials into decorative and functional objects. The "call to artists" was answered by over 500 bead-makers who contributed 2,500
eco-art beads.

This community art project is sponsored by a grant from the Lexington Fayette Urban County Government's Department of Environmental Quality to promote awareness of environmental issues.
