ABOUT THE CALL FOR ENTRIES
WAAM Regional: Material Alchemy invites artists to submit work that redefines the role of material in contemporary art. This exhibition celebrates the visionary use of non-traditional, repurposed, and hybrid materials—encouraging experimental approaches that challenge the norms of form and function. We are seeking work from artists who push the boundaries of their medium—whether through innovative mixed media, sculptural practices, fabrication or the creative reuse of found or recycled objects. Artists who deconstruct the familiar and reconstruct it into something compelling, provocative, and new are especially encouraged to apply.
WAAM Regional is open to artists living within a 50-mile radius of Woodstock, NY
