SewGreen, the sewing reuse store which is nearing seven years of not-for-profit presence in downtown Ithaca, has expanded and diversified. The Art and Found, a sustainable clothing store owned by Olivia Royale, is now sharing the space. In addition, SewGreen has opened a new reuse program called Art ReStart that accepts unwanted art supplies for reuse and resale. Large doorways connect all three spaces.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">The Art and Found and SewGreen have also created an arts space that can accommodate community events, workshops, art shows and events. The first art show to debut in the space will be abstract drawings by Wendy Skinner, founder and director of SewGreen.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Join the party this coming Friday at The Art and Found, 112 N Cayuga Street, 5 to 8 pm, to celebrate Wendy’s and Olivia’s collaborative vision for local sustainable enterprise.
