Old bottle caps, used can lids, and discarded umbrellas are scattered throughout the lobby of Troy University’s International Arts Center. However, there isn’t a need for a clean up. It is part of the latest exhibit on display in the IAC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Reimagining the Everyday” is an exhibit of artwork from Janet Nolan that turns everyday objects into sprawling works of art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So for her she wanted to take these objects and give them a new life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
