ATTENTION ARTISTS! CALL FOR ENTRIES! Gallery Madera presents re-ART ’08, October 16 – November 29, a juried art exhibition about re-USING, re-NEWING and re-THINKING our throw-away minded culture. As Americans, we produce on average 4 ½ pounds of garbage each day and for every can of trash we haul out to the curb, 70 cans of waste were produced "upstream" to make the junk we are throwing away.1 It’s time to re-CONFIGURE our mindset, to re-EVALUATE our priorities! What better way than with ART? Gallery Madera is seeking entries of original art made from salvaged or landfill/recycle center bound materials. Artworks should consist primarily of recycled material with an emphasis toward function and intent for permanence (in other words, no throw-away installation works, please). Art will be for sale with a portion of proceeds going to local charities focused on fostering sustainability and healthy, lasting prosperity grounded in community. Deadline for entries is Saturday September 20. Digital images of original artworks can be emailed to gallerymadera@gmail.com or delivered on disk to Gallery Madera 2210 Court A, Tacoma 98402. Multiple entries accepted. Please name each digital file with your last name and title of artwork. Also please include a submission list that includes your name, titles, medium, dimensions and suggested retail price.
