Reuse Alliance

Presented in partnership with the Petaluma Arts Center and Recology San Francisco and Santa Rosa, It’s Not Trash: Reclaiming and Transforming honors artists who repurpose discarded materials to create work centered on sustainability, storytelling, and community restoration.

Reuse Alliance, in collaboration with community participants, will be creating and exhibiting a textile-based art installation at the upcoming exhibition, opening this fall at the Petaluma Arts Center. This summer, they are hosting a series of skill-based workshops centered around transforming and repurposing textile waste collected from clothing swaps and their new creative reuse store at the Reuse Hub.

The installation, texTILES, will be featured alongside many other artworks celebrating reuse and sustainability. Participation in any of their textile workshops or volunteering with Reuse Alliance will grant access for participation in the community art installation. The completed artwork will be auctioned at a later date to support fundraising efforts for the organization.

Exhibition Dates: September 17 – October 24, 2026

Opening Reception: Thursday, September 17, 5:30-7:30pm
