Repurposed with Purpose

Alaska Rug Company presents
Repurposed with Purpose: Retirement in the Material World
Jen Luton and Ryan Burnard
Opening February 6, 2026 @ Grace Ridge Brewing
Alaska Rug Company creates sustainable rope art primarily from retired Alaskan commercial fishing line, and this February we are hauling that spirit of reinvention to Grace Ridge Brewing. Our upcoming exhibit will showcase a mix of decorative pieces and classic nautical knotwork, incorporating rope from a recent community project at Bunnell Street Arts Center with artist Lucas Murgida.
We hope to underline the importance of reusing what we already have on this planet. We like to think we’re giving these hard‑working materials a well earned retirement, helping them live on as beautiful, eye catching objects after seasons spent hauling in some of the best seafood in the world.
