MECCA’s 15th Annual Object Afterlife Art Challenge
“With a mission to connect unwanted materials and fine art, participants are given a mystery bag of materials, a MECCA gift certificate, and a few months to create. Artists may use some or all of the materials however they please, but may not swap, trade, or omit.”
My mystery item was contact paper, which couldn’t have been more perfect for my collage style. The “Whimsical Bee” is the result, a 24″x24″ mixed media painting on recycled gallery wrapped canvas.
I can’t wait to see everyone else’s projects in the exhibit that opens October 4 in the MECCA gallery, with a reception from 5:30-8:00pm. Sale proceeds go towards the MECCA’s support of community art programs.
