Artists are invited to submit work for RE NEW: Recycled Art Show, an SOS Locavore exhibition celebrating transformation, sustainability, and creative reinvention. This show explores how discarded and repurposed materials can be reimagined into compelling sculptural forms and textures that speak to environmental awareness and artistic innovation. We are seeking works made from recycled materials, including reclaimed objects and recycled fabrics.
Work Parameters: lightweight, translucent, large-scale suspended works, or wall-mounted pieces made from recycled textiles.
The show will be hosted by The KMW School of Painting, at 62A Summer Street, Somerville.
The gallery will be open through one month during weekends: April 25th to May 17th.
Participants will need to sign up for a short shift to monitor the gallery during the exhibit. The schedule of the show being open for visitors will be determined by everyone’s availability. Sign up form for gallery sitting
