AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

It's the dawn of a new decade!
The economy is in trouble & we still have too much garbage!
Your art could be part of the solution!!!
If you make art from things that would have been thrown away - broken stuff,
old stuff, burned stuff, torn stuff transformed into art- 2D & 3D in any
media rescued from trash, your art is eligible.
It’s happening again! The exhibit “Art of Detritus: Recycling with
Imagination" features fine art from cast-off materials created by
professional artists from throughout the country. The heart of this exhibit
is the message of the three R's: Reduce/Reuse/Recycle.
The 2010 Art From Detritus Exhibition is a juried international art
competition for dynamic, inventive and provocative work created from a
multitude of materials that would have been discarded if not rescued for
artmaking. The exhibit will occur in November 2010 at Viridian Artists Inc
Gallery located in a recycled building in Chelsea NYC.
This show will be curated by Vernita Nemec, artist/curator, former director
of Artists Talk On Art and currently on the Board of Directors of Soho20 and
Director of Viridian, both in Chelsea NYC. She conceived the first Detritus
Exhibition in 1993 & over the years has received funding from The Puffin
Foundation, the Kaufmann Foundation and the National Recycling Coalition.
Since then, there have been more than a dozen Detritus exhibitions through
out the U.S. You can see images of and information on past Detritus shows at
