The annual Garage Sale of Upscale Garbage brings together artists’ leftovers for an exhibition/sale inspired by the suburban garage sales of our youths.

Upscale Garbage is any object that has been modified by the artist: objects can repurpose materials fit for the trash or fine art, embodying the ethos of colloquial practices of creation, craft, and decoration, or simply be leftovers, unfinished work, or work they are looking to get rid of. Intentionally broad, the objects themselves are less important than the performance of the garage sale.

Every year artists, chefs, musicians, and neighbors gather to celebrate another year of finding their junk a new home.
