Piece of Victoria – Recycled Art Auction Through talent, ingenuity and generosity, a select group of local artists have transformed several dozen old metal Victoria School desks into one of a kind, imaginative and inspiring works of art. These desks, as well as other fine art by local and locally-raised artists, will be auctioned at a unique recycled art exhibition on Saturday, July 31st at the Broda Sportsplex. Come and be inspired by the vision of our artists, take home a one-of-a-kind gift or a keepsake of our beloved Victoria School, enjoy some good wine, enter to win cool prizes, support our downtown revitalization and most importantly, support our local artists. It will be a festive evening to rejoice in our arts community, our friends, and our town.
