JURIED SHOW - ARTIST APPLICATION. DEADLINE TO APPLY: December 10, 2023. Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center invites emerging and established artists to submit original artworks to Metamorphosis: Recycled, Repurposed, Reimagined. This exhibition seeks to inspire environmentally sustainable artmaking through found objects, creative reuse, and upcycled art. By repurposing by-products, waste materials, or unwanted objects and transforming them into something with more perceived and artistic value, we encourage artists to explore environmental themes, engage in social commentary, implore a call to action, or infuse realism, emotion, or humor in their work. Artwork in this show is meant to be eye-opening, engaging, thought-provoking, inspiring, poetic, and even sometimes playful and optimistic. How are contemporary artists engaging with objects in a world overrun with too much stuff? Artwork for Metamorphosis: Recycled, Repurposed, Reimagined must include a repurposed material as a primary medium. 2-D and 3-D artwork will be considered. Outdoor artwork is also welcome. All work must be created within the last four years. Artists must be 18 years or older. This exhibition will be open to the public in the Kay Daugherty Gallery of Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center, from February 9 to April 21, 2024. It will be a primary feature at our Earth Arts Fest on Saturday, April 20, 2024.
