It's the dawn of a new decade!
The economy is in trouble & we still have too much garbage!
Your art could be part of the solution!!!
If you make art from things that would have been thrown away - broken stuff, old stuff, burned stuff, torn stuff transformed into art- 2D & 3D in any media rescued from trash, your art is eligible.
It's happening again! The exhibit Art of Detritus: Recycling with Imagination" features fine art from cast-off materials created by professional artists from throughout the country. The heart of this exhibit is the message of the three R's: Reduce/Reuse/Recycle.
The 2010 Art From Detritus Exhibition is a juried international art competition for dynamic, inventive and provocative work created from a multitude of materials that would have been discarded if not rescued for artmaking.

She conceived the first Detritus Exhibition in 1993 & over the years has received funding from The Puffin Foundation, the Kaufmann Foundation and the National Recycling Coalition.
