Earth Day Recycle Reuse Call for Artist Due April 1st







Call For Entry


Texas Celebrates Earth Day 2024 


“Paintings and Assemblages”


Paintings and Assemblages on pre-existing Surfaces will be an exhibit that celebrates the transcendent, innovative and experimental works of Art.

The goal of this exhibit is to use art to inspire artist to recycle more and conserve natural resources.


Reduce - to use less

Reuse - to put again into service without changing

Recycle - to put into service with changing


Recycled art and design encourage creativity in others— it's alchemical, magical, subversive, and transformative by nature. Through the use of these discarded materials, we attempt to not only recycle but also make a comment on our rampant "throw-away" society.


Artist will be exhibiting paintings, assemblages, mosaics, found objects, cardboard and anything else our society has deemed no longer useful.

We turn trash into art while keeping it out of our landfill. Throughout our exhibit, the community will find ways we can help keep our Earth a cleaner place to live and about sustainability. 


The content must be of a nature that a public entity can display for the enjoyment of a diverse, family-type audience.
