Join us at the OFFCUTS vernissage this evening where Frances will be showing a range of microscopy prints that he’s been working on in the lab for the last few months! The exhibition runs Monday, May 4th – Friday, May 8th at the VAV Gallery, 1395 Réne-Levesque.

OFFCUTS is a collaborative exhibition between Art Matters Festival and the Concordia University Centre for Creative Reuse (CUCCR) that celebrates sustainable art-making practices. Many of the materials used in the artworks are sourced directly from CUCCR, highlighting the creative potential of reuse.

This exhibition showcases artists who are resourceful and attentive to the environmental impact of their practices. Each work considers the full lifecycle of materials—whether by transforming items destined for landfill or creating pieces designed to naturally decompose. OFFCUTS foregrounds the care, intention and innovation involved in working with reclaimed materials.
