Exhibits: Upcoming Art Exhibits

Tanya Evans-Johnson
January 17 - March 14, 2026
Cardboard Comes to LIfe Tour 2026: Black Life Through Time
Reception: Sunday, February 15, 2026 -- 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.

Ms. Evans-Johnson is an artist who creates one-of-a-kind works from items the average person might consider trash.

She rescues recyclable materials that ordinarily end up in landfills or
worse yet, into our oceans. Tanya says "I love knowing that my art is stopping that
from happening, even if just a little.  I began creating at the onset of the pandemic, going back to my love of art and creating as an artist (sidenote: I have a BA in Visual Art from
the University of Maryland, and taught Art Education for 10+ years). I
created DRIFT Studio: Designing Reclaimed Items From Trash, in
January of 2024.

With each piece, I want the viewer to wonder how it was made. I want
to encourage that curiosity. And when they discover what was actually
used, I want them to say, “Wow! That was made from trash?”

My studio is my haven. Art makes me feel at ease, even when
challenges arise. I want everyone, young or seasoned, to be inspired to
create and share in that feeling, especially if their artistic muse has
been dormant."

There will be an artists reception on Sunday, February 24, from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.  Meet the artist and connect with her work.

Lite refreshments will be served.

Exhibit is sponsored in part by a grant from ArtsWestchester.
