Brooklyn
Waterfront Artist Coalition presents:
RECYCLE
Call
for
Artists - Deadline: March 31st, 2015
Recycle, 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. 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
privileged to have as our juror, Elissa Goldstone, Director of Exhibits
at NYC’s Socrates Sculpture Park.
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.'
