Workshop
Recycle 2023, 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. 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. 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.
Deadlines and Dates
• Submission Deadline: Final Application Deadline March 26, 2023
• Gallery Exhibition Dates: Saturday, May 13 – Sunday, June 18, 2023 weekends 1‐6 P.M.
• Opening Reception: Saturday, May 13, 2023 from 1‐6 P.M.
