Energy Exhibit at CCDC
Posted by Paige
Don’t have plans for Charlottesville’s First Friday Art Walk? Check out Charlottesville Community Design Center ‘s (CCDC) Energy Matters energy exhibit. The Blue Ridge Eco Shop is proud to support the SPARK! exhibit. If you can’t make it out tonight, the exhibit will be free and open to the public through January!
Energy Matters is an interactive installation devoted to the importance of energy - what we use, where it comes from and what we can do to prepare ourselves for a widespread switch to clean and renewable energy sources. This exhibit will offer practical information that can be immediately applied to reducing household energy use, including the resources and incentives that are available to help. The exhibit opens on Friday, January 2 and will run through the month of January. The opening reception will be held on January 2 from 5-8 pm. Regular gallery hours are Monday through Friday 10 am – 5 pm with extended gallery hours on Friday, January 9 from 5-8 pm.
