Rockford – A new exhibit titled "Fine Art Fridges" is on display now at the Discovery Center Museum in Rockford. This exhibit includes a trio of recycled refrigerators re-imagined by Chicago-area artists. ComEd is footing the bill, with the hope that these art pieces will raise awareness about its appliance recycling program. WNIJ's Christopher Hosken visited with "Fine Art Fridges" artists Victoria Lucy and Mike Helbing and filed this report.
