About the Series:
Anything But… is an annual exhibition series at Riverside Arts Center that invites artists to challenge assumptions about art materials and processes. Each year, the series sets aside a common material or convention, asking artists to explore alternative approaches. The goal is to spark experimentation, highlight innovation, and celebrate the many ways artists expand the language of contemporary art.
Riverside Arts Center invites artists to submit work for Anything But…New Materials, the second installment in our annual “Anything But…” exhibition series.
This exhibition will highlight works made primarily from recycled, reused, or repurposed materials, encouraging artists to step away from traditional, relied-upon art supplies and experiment with new ways of making. We’re looking for inventive approaches of working with familiar objects and work that shows how creativity can transform disparate materials into masterpieces!
Both 2D and 3D works are eligible.
NOTE: Artwork must be created with at least 75% recycled, reused, or repurposed materials. A limited amount of traditional supplies (adhesives, thread, paint, wire, etc.) may be used as supporting elements.
