'From Refuse to Reuse' exhibit showcases new art from old materials

One person’s trash is another’s artwork. At least for the eight artists participating in “From Refuse to Reuse." The new exhibit at Las Vegas City Hall’s Grand Gallery showcases works made from found or discarded objects the creators have rescued, then reused to create a new vision. . “If I want to call myself an artist, I should be able to create something from anything,” says Las Vegas-based Alex Huerta, one of the featured artists. Adds artist Glynn Galloway, “To me, perfection is boring. I want to see the marks and scars and cracks that have come over time.”
