Local Calls for Artists
Show Description
“RE” is a juried exhibition that will focus on 2D and 3D works created from previously used materials. In a world where goods are easily acquired and just as easily abandoned, this show places a value on the artistic transformation of salvaged items. Found objects, reimagined images, and “treasures” recused from curbside all have the potential for a new life as assemblage, mixed-media collage, or up-cycled furniture. Reclaimed items can retain some of their previous form or be so heavily reworked as to no longer be identifiable. If you are an artist who works in reclaimed, reimagined, or repurposed media, this is the show for you. Entry Requirements The entry fee is $20 and submission is open to all artists 16 and up in the Lemont and Chicago Metropolitan area. 2D and 3D work is welcome. All work must be original and comply with copyright laws. All work must be ready for exhibition and hanging (as applicable). 2D work must have a wire attached to the back. The LCA reserves the right to refuse any entry and to withdraw any work from the exhibition at its discretion. All artwork must have the title and the artists name on the back of each piece.
