Recycle 2018, the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition’s national juried show of art crafted from cast‐off, discarded, and re‐purposed
materials, will be a celebration of ingenuity and imagination. BWAC’s curator for Re‐cycle 2018 is once again Renee Radenberg. We are seeking to exhibit sophisticated two‐ and three‐ dimensional art created in the re‐use genre. To help us in this quest, we are once again greatly honored to have our juror, from Materials for the Arts. This year it is the Director of Education, John Cloud Kaiser.
As well as looking for skill in the use of material, we want to see art that demonstrates the importance of conserving our limited natural resources. We look for how well the medium relates to the upcycling movement and how fully the artist’s intention or concept is presented and realized. The juror’s awards will reflect that artistic judgment.
Recycle: BWAC is seeking original artwork from artists working in repurposed materials. Entries must incorporate at least 50 percent of repurposed, recycled, or reused materials. The theme is open to any medium resulting in 2‐Dimensional or 3‐Dimensional work.
ELIGIBILITY: This call for submission is open to all residents of the U.S. and its Territories 18 years of age or older.
This is a juried exhibition for artists working in all traditional and non‐traditional 2D and 3D media, including film/video when part of an installation.
All artwork must be original in concept, design and execution. Note: Crafts, kit work or reproductions of original works in other media (such as giclee reproductions of oil paintings), unless used as part of a mixed media work, will not be considered
