(Fredericksburg, VA) October 3, 2025 – The City of Fredericksburg Visitor Center invites the community to kick off the “Upcycled Ghost Art” Exhibit with an evening of spooky-fun creativity! Guests can browse imaginative thrift-flipped artworks, meet the artists behind the pieces, and cast votes in the People’s Choice contest. The opening celebration will be held Friday, October 3 at 5:00pm-7:30pm at the Visitor Center, 601 Caroline Street.
“Upcycled Ghost Art” is a seasonal community art show featuring family-friendly, ghost-themed works made from repurposed and recycled materials. Artists were asked to find a non-valuable piece of artwork, photograph or painting from a thrift store or their home and paint ghosts on it. The fun and hauntingly eclectic exhibit will remain on view through November 2nd during regular Visitor Center hours. Admission is free.
“These upcycled ghosts prove that even traditional thrifted items can take on a spirited, creative twist,” said Danelle Rose, Tourism Marketing and Communications Manager. “It’s a fun way to celebrate the season that’s both boo-tiful and sustainable!”
