Ever a supporter of the arts, Buffalo ReUse was recently contacted by several artists involved in an upcoming exhibition at the CEPA gallery. The artists will be examining objects, their designated function and identity, and what happens to our relationship with these objects when they become broken or decayed. Additionally, they are issuing a call for broken things – their Repair Shop service will take your “broken” things and “repair” them on-site and for a small fee. The proceeds will go to support artist initiatives and community projects. The exhibit opens September 11th — but they need your help prior to that.

From Sept 7th – 11th the artists will be building out the art space, and they need about 30 high stools to give the feeling of a shop or studio, and about 15 sheets of pegboard. They are open to temporary donations, borrowing furniture and materials to be returned after the exhibition. Buffalo ReUse will provide them with as much material as possible, but when it comes to bar stools, tall chairs, and pegboard, our supply is limited.

Please let us know if you have any of these items to lend or donate, and we’ll get you in contact with the artists. Thanks!
