For the sixth year, the Muse Gallery in partnership with Ecocycle presents an exhibition that asks artists to look beyond traditional art materials and focus on found objects and recycled materials.  Entries came in from Longmont, Boulder, the Front Range, Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Wyoming.  The Muse Gallery exhibition committee along with guest juror David Friedland, EcoCycle’s Longmont Campaigns Coordinator selected the art for the 2015 exhibition.   

There was a wide variety of entries and the jury looked at several criteria when selecting work.  The majority of the piece (90%) had to be created from recycled materials, the creativity in re-use of materials from original purpose, quality and content were a few of the things the committee looked for in a piece.  The jurors didn’t have an easy job with 168 entries from 98 artists.  The exhibition features a wide variety of styles and interpretations of the recycled materials. The jury was concerned with not only the materials used, but the motivation and message behind the pieces as well as the craftsmanship. The top cash prizes will be awarded at the opening reception on Friday, March 13, 2015 6-9pm.  Awards will be announced at 7:30pm with a gallery talk by Joan Jordan, March’s Featured artist.
