Edition No. 228
Upcycling art show begins June 11
The deadline is fast approaching for entries to a Grosse Pointe Artists Association show.
All entries must be received by May 26 for Upcycling, the theme of the show.
Upcycling is the creative reuse of everything from trash to old artwork resulting in something more functional, beautiful or valuable than the original. It is open to all media (2D & 3D) except installations.
The show’s juror is Doug La Ferle who is well known for his prizewinning interactive robotic sculptures that reflect his love of art, science and salvage.
A gallery talk is set for 6:30 p.m. on June 12 at the Artists Association gallery at The War Memorial.
