Artists in Santa Barbara County are invited to submit up to three pieces to the Lompoc Valley Art Association’s show, Art of Renewal, by Jan. 26. The exhibit is all about using repurposed materials to create something new.
“This event celebrates both creative ingenuity and environmental responsibility, inviting local artists and art lovers to join in our mission to transform waste into wonder,” the organization said in press materials.
At least 70 percent of the artwork must be made from recycled, reused, or repurposed materials, and each piece must be available for sale during the show. The pieces cannot exceed 36 inches in any dimension and must be ready to hang or stand freely on their own. Artists will receive 70 percent of the sales, while the rest will be donated to the art association.
Any artist who lives or has a studio in the county is eligible to submit. Only original work will be accepted, and no AI-generated content is allowed.
In addition to dropping off submissions, artists are required to fill out an online entry form.
Drop off artwork at the Cypress Gallery (119 E. Cypress Ave.) in Lompoc on Jan. 26 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 4 to 6 p.m. The public show and sale will take place from Jan. 29 to Feb. 22 with a reception on Feb. 7 at 1 p.m.
