Call for "Art From Found Objects"

This exhibition (9/12-10/31) at the Monmouth Museum  focuses on artwork created from the undisguised, but often modified,  use of common found objects that are not normally considered art,
often because they already have a non-art function. Found art derives its identity as "Art" from the designation placed upon it by the artist. "Trash Art" is included in this exhibition as works are primarily comprised from components that have been discarded and then found. 75% of the media used to create works for this exhibition must be from either discarded, reusable or found objects.
