trash group exhibition at local project
Local Project is currently accepting submissions for “TRASH”, a group exhibition that will inspire a conversation about the environment through art. We ask the question, “what is our relationship with trash?” How could something that was once loved, treasured or used be tossed away? Can we give these objects a second chance and utilize them to create something new and beautiful?
Artists are invited to submit works that are created using trash or works that showcase trash as the main subject matter. Special consideration will be given to works that use recycled, refurbished, repurposed and/or reimagined materials. All mediums welcome: video, photography, sculpture, painting, drawing, mixed media, etc.
DATES: Deadline to Submit: Sunday, October 23rd at 5pm Notification: Tuesday, October 25th Drop off: Sunday, October 30th and Monday, October 31st (time TBA) Opening: Saturday, November 5th 5PM-8PM On view until Saturday, November 26th (gallery hours TBA) Pick up: Sunday, November 27th and Monday, November 28th (time TBA)
