MECCA ( Materials Exchange Center for Community Arts ) once again presents the Object Afterlife Art Challenge, a unique opportunity for the arts community. A chance for artists to brave a new approach to their creative process while participating in an awareness raising community event. In an effort to bridge the worlds of fine art and scrap art, we challenge artists to create thought-provoking, intentional works with scrap materials provided by MECCA and BRING. Artists will be given two months to complete their creation. Artwork will be chosen for awards in multiple categories. This challenge encourages artists to work outside their usual mediums or incorporate scrap materials into their art. Based on submitted information, our staff will choose objects for each participant to use in the work created for this challenge. The artist can use all or part of the objects given and is free to incorporate other materials and mediums as well. Artwork submitted can be made available for purchase during the exhibition. The artwork created for this event will be on exhibit downtown during the Eugene Celebration, August 27, 28 & 29, and throughout September. Our intention is to connect with and promote the local art community, inspire the creative use of scrap materials, raise awareness of our universal need to re-imagine the objects surrounding us, and most of all, to have a fun and creative experience!
