Leave it to an artist to see the beauty in worn leather coats, mismatched silverware, broken dishes, and old sweaters. These are just some of the materials artists have repurposed to create work for the Déjà Vu Art and Fine Craft Show. The event will take place at The Commons in Columbus, Indiana from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 8th.
This year marks the twentieth time the Déjà Vu Art and Fine Craft Show has been presented, and professional artists from Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and from throughout Indiana are participating. Many of the show's participants are members of prestigious organizations such as Indiana Artisan, Kentucky Crafted, or the Louisville Artisans Guild.
Starting in 2012, we began honoring one person as our Featured Artist, and this year, we're pleased to award the title to Agnes Faverjon of Columbus, Indiana. A regular exhibitor, Agnes creates beautiful works from mixed media, she specializes in creating images of famous persons. Originally from Tourmus, France, the collage artist also is inspired to create works about her travels and animals.
Work in this year's show includes collage, jewelry, book arts, home décor, mixed media, sculpture, wearable art, woodworking, mosaic, and glass art, all created from scrap materials or items that have been repurposed. A few years ago, a new category was added to recognize artists who use sustainable, natural materials to create their work.
Sponsors of the event are the Bartholomew County Solid Waste Management District, Columbus Area Visitors Center, First Financial Bank, Kroot Corporation, Columbus Office of Downtown Development, and the Lincoln-Central Neighborhood Family Center, with additional support from Exhibit Columbus, Hotel Indigo, Lucabe Coffee Co., and Viewpoint Books.
