The Phillips Museum of Art at Franklin & Marshall College will hold a reception for the public to meet the artist behind "Waste Not, Want Not: Collage by Mark Wagner" on Thursday, Oct. 30, from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

The exhibit offers a tongue-in-cheek look at the foibles of modern life through intricate assemblages of dollar-bill parts and everyday scraps. Attendees can view works such as "The Woodsman," which illustrates George Washington chopping an incensed cherry tree, and "Tag," a jacket assembled out of designer clothing labels. Wagner's books, such as "Scream at the Librarian," will be available to peruse at the event.

The reception will include light refreshments, and both the reception and the exhibition are free and open to the public. The Phillips Museum of Art is located in Steinman College Center at 628 College Ave., Lancaster. For more information, visit http://www.fandm.edu/phillips-museum or call 717-358-4428.
