TRAVERSE CITY -- Interested in one-of-a-kind masterpieces?

Check out the artwork created by local artists out of items found in Goodwill stores.

The Goodwill Reinvention Convention held it's opening night preview party tonight at Ecco in downtown TC. The evening was filled with wine, h'or deurves, and voting for the top piece- and gave members of the community to meet the artists.

Proceeds go to Goodwill's "Workers on Wheels" program, whose goal is to provide safe and reliable transportation to local low-income, working families in Northern Michigan.

If you missed tonight's event, the gallery is open Friday from 10am-9pm and Saturday from 10am-3pm.

You can also check out the pieces online at GoodwillReinventionConvention.com. Votes are a dollar a piece, but there is a ten dollar minimum for votes online).
