Calling artists who recycle, repurpose and reuse to submit to the second annual upcycled art exhibition: “Reclaimed,” at Majestic Galleries in Nelsonville, OH. This exhibition contributes to the growing dialogue on sustainability and the importance of repurposing.  

 

Artists are encouraged to submit pieces that transform reclaimed materials into works of art. We are looking for artists who make eco-conscious art, question the environmental impact of their artistic process, and explore the theme of sustainability through their upcycled art. All 2D, 3D and 4D artwork is permitted. Open to artists 18 and over, nationally, who repurpose and reimagine recycled, reclaimed, and reused materials.
