Applications are now being accepted for a first-ever, highly visible competition and community-based exhibition in Boulder, Colorado featuring works of art created with or on reclaimed doors…any kind of door made of any kind of material.  The works of art may still function as doors or may be transformed into another functional or visual art object.  A $20 gift certificate to the ReSource Yard, a source for reclaimed doors and other building materials in Boulder County, is provided with completed applications (please register early to take advantage of this).

Cash and other prizes will be awarded, and works may be sold in the Bold Doors auction.  Jurors will include executive directors of arts organizations/galleries, prominent local artists and art buyers. Accepted works will be displayed at multiple venues in the Boulder area, with an exhibition guide published on-line and in selected high-traffic locations.  Early entries are invited for display during the promotion of the competition, providing more public display time for professional artists.

SMART (Sustainable Materials + Art) is a new initiative started by the Center For Resource Conservation to celebrate and promote re-use of hard-to-recycle objects, expand market opportunities for artists working with reclaimed materials, and reflect the value that Boulder places on sustainability in public and private works of art.

A student team competition is also offered, with entries exhibited May 4th to 6th,2012.
