Michigan artists are invited to submit original works of art for the juried exhibition, Times 2. Times 2 is an exhibit at Crooked Tree Arts Center in Traverse City featuring art created primarily with recycled/upcycled and found object materials. Recycled art is a powerful form of expression that showcases the potential of discarded materials. Examples of the type of artwork that is being sought may be a painting on an old fridge door, or a sculpture made entirely of garage sale knicknacks, or a photograph developed on a discarded plastic bag, etc.

This exhibit will highlight how artists can breathe new life into discarded materials, turning them into extraordinary works of art.
