Up-cycled: Creative Reuse

R Gallery invites Colorado artists to submit original artwork that embodies the principles of upcycling for the "Upcycled: Creative Reuse" exhibit. Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality and environmental value. Artwork should incorporate materials or elements that have had a previous life or purpose. The gallery is primarily seeking wall art that can hang, as space for free-standing works is limited. All mediums are welcome.

Eligibility is open to Colorado residents. All entries must be of original design and personal execution. Submissions should include 3-10 images of the work. Pieces should ideally be less than 30" wide including frame or case, though a limited number of pieces up to 48" wide may be accepted. The entry fee is $35.00 plus a $5.00 media fee.

The exhibition runs from March 17 to April 26, 2020. Accepted works must arrive by Sunday, March 15, 2020. Notification of acceptance will be sent by Thursday, March 5. An artists' reception is scheduled for Friday, March 27 from 6:00pm-8:00pm. All pieces must remain up for the duration of the exhibition and must be for sale. R Gallery will handle all sales and charge a 50% commission. Work will be returned by May 15th unless otherwise agreed upon. A prepaid return label must be provided if sending work by carrier.
