ArtCycle Call for Artists
Art meets environment!
In our unique, juried outdoor show - ArtCycle Greenway Gallery!
The Metuchen Arts Council has received a grant to create a walking outdoor gallery. This gallery will be the second installment of one of our existing arts programs, ArtCycle, where we encourage art made with recycled material. For this installment, the Council will provide old traffic signs (available in various shapes and sizes) to a select group of Middlesex County artists that will be recycled into works of art, both 2D as well as 3D, that will raise awareness of the importance of local land preservation for recreation. We have all learned to greatly appreciate the outdoors during the pandemic. And the selected works of art will be linked by stories that inspire an appreciation for the preservation of local natural spaces for the enjoyment of all, as well as emphasizing how such preservation contributes to physical, mental, and environmental health beyond our own community.
The artworks will be displayed primarily on the main trailhead entrance to the Metuchen part of Middlesex Greenway that cuts through the center of the Borough and runs 3.5 miles across three towns, Edison, Metuchen and Woodbridge.
We invite artists to register on https://www.metuchenartscouncil.com with a description of their concept, in text or as an illustration. Concept submission deadline is April 25th, 2022. And the final artworks deadline is August 1st 2022. Public celebration and unveiling is scheduled for October 22nd,2022. More details are available on our website
