In celebration of America Recycles Day, the Columbus Area Visitors Center and the Lincoln-Central Neighborhood Family Center are pleased to present a show featuring professional artists who creatively reuse and recycle materials. This juried show will be held at The Commons in downtown Columbus, Indiana from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., EST on Saturday, November 13, 2021

The participant must use solid waste, at least in part, to create the work. A few artists who work with natural materials also will be accepted. The exhibiting artist must show only his or her own art or fine crafts and be present at the show the entire time.

Materials to Accompany Application: You must submit at least three digital photos (on disk) of your work and one of your booth. If you prefer, you may send them online to kidatart@kid-at-art.com.

Each booth space is approximately 10' x 10'.
