Call for Artists: Arbor Aid 2011
Arbor Aid 2011: Vessel Statement/ Call for Artists: Tree Pittsburgh is seeking entries and placing a national call for artists for its 4th annual juried art exhibition featuring artwork created from reclaimed and urban wood. Participants are encouraged to respond to the word “Vessel” using reclaimed, re-purposed, or recycled urban wood. Tree Pittsburgh's hope is to showcase different urban tree material from the region and across the nation through a variety of art, furniture & craft. “Reclaimed urban wood” can come from downed or removed city trees, from fixtures, flooring, beams, etc of once-occupied homes, or from other urban reclaimed sources. As long as the wood used in the piece is reclaimed in some way, it is acceptable to be submitted for inclusion in Arbor Aid.
