Recycle 2017, 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. To help us in this quest, we are once again greatly honored to have as our juror, Harriet Taub, Executive Director of Exhibits at Materials for the Arts.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.

Eligibility
This call for submission is open to all residents of the U.S. and its Territories 18 years of age or older.

All artwork must be original in concept, design and execution.
