Artist Talk-- Aileen Chen: Metamorphosis: The Alchemy of Waste

**March 07, 2026 - May 09, 2026** From the Dougherty Arts Center: *“Metamorphosis* is a collection of works by artist Aileen Chen that explores the beauty and possibilities in giving new life to "waste." Reclaimed fabrics are sculpted into vibrant blooms. Unwanted objects transform into striking compositions. Chen’s work reminds us of our collective responsibility to preserve our planet, and our own ability to undergo renewals and contribute to a more resilient, harmonious world." **Reception** March 11\, 2026 \| 7\-9 pm **Artist talk** April 08\, 2026 \| 7\-9 pm
