Exhibitor Application

CALL FOR ENTRIES! Geauga Park District invites community members and regional artisans to participate in a 2-month exhibition featuring creative works of art transformed from discarded/found materials. Entries will be accepted January 29 and 30 at The West Woods Nature Center.

Goals for this project are:
٠ To increase environmental awareness and encourage recycling.
٠ To demonstrate sustainability through the use/reuse of discarded or recycled materials.
٠ To showcase the creative talents of community members and regional artisans in a unique way.
٠ To delight visitors with the unexpected connection of discarded materials to finished artwork, as well as the cleverness of the transformation.

Artwork created from recycled materials is a carrier of memory, containing a vestige of these materials’ former function into the new art piece. Possibilities for raw materials are endless…what will you create?
