Art from Recycled Materials. All artwork will be original works created from or with a significant percentage of recycled materials. It is estimated that the exhibit will be viewed by more than 20,000 visitors. Greg Walters, exhibits director at Sternberg Museum, said the exhibit serves a dual purpose. With this, we hit a crossover of the way we look at things, including environmental issues.
Art is a form of natural history.
The competition is open only to Ellis County residents, which includes part-time residents so all Fort Hays State University students are eligible. Works must be ready to install with appropriate frames, mounting hardware and wires securely attached. If a work uses recycled materials indirectly, the artist should submit the recycled material as a supplement to the entry. Works must not pose a conservation risk for the museum or its collections. There is no entry fee for the exhibition and an artist may submit up to six works.
