Transformed

About the Open Call

Transformed is a thought-provoking art exhibition that explores the beauty and potential of repurposed materials, showcasing the ingenuity of artists who breathe new life into the discarded and forgotten. Through a series of sculptural works, installations, and mixed media pieces, this exhibition invites visitors to reconsider objects we often overlook or cast aside and reframe them as sources of inspiration, narrative, and artistic expression. Each artwork in Transformed is a testament to the idea that art doesn’t always come from new materials, but from reimagining what already exists, reflecting a commitment to sustainability, consumption, and waste. The exhibition is juried by Jaynie Crimmins, a New York City based paper sculptor and artist known for creating alternative narratives by recycling quotidian materials. Awards designated by the juror total $1,000.
