2012 RECYCLED ART SHOW
Co-Sponsored by Hudson Crossing Park and
Saratoga National Historical Park
RECYCLED ART SHOW
The Recycled Art Show is a special exhibit designed to coincide with Earth Week Commemoration activities co-sponsored by Hudson Crossing Park and Saratoga National Historical Park. The indoor art exhibit runs from Friday, April 20 to Sunday, April 29, 2012. Hudson Crossing Park and Saratoga National Historical Park (Saratoga Battlefield) are partnering in this celebration of Earth Week and consider art to be a perfect medium to heighten public awareness of recycling efforts.
DATES OF SHOW
The Hudson Crossing Park Recycled Art Show will be on indoor display at Saratoga National Historical Park Visitor Center (Saratoga Battlefield) at 648 Rt. 32, Stillwater, NY 12170, beginning with a reception on Friday, April 20, from 7 to 9 p.m. Artwork will remain on exhibit Saturday, April 21 through Saturday, April 28, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, April 29 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Closing ceremonies will follow.
In addition, outdoor artwork will be on exhibit for a minimum of one month at Hudson Crossing Park beginning on Friday, April 20. The Park is free and open to the public from dawn until dusk each day.
ACCEPTABLE MEDIUMS
Anything goes! This includes two - and three-dimensional works, including but not limited to: paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, pottery, collage, glasswork, metalwork and stonework. At least 50% of each piece of art must be comprised of recycled (discarded/found) materials, manmade or organic, including but not limited to wood, metal, stone, glass, paper, fabric, pottery and plastic.
DISPLAY CRITERIA
Entries selected for exhibit by the Recycled Art Show committee will meet the following criteria:
1) Work contains at least 50% recycled material.
2) Due to indoor space limitations, three-dimensional work generally must fit into a space of one and a half feet by two feet (1.5' by 2.0'). Larger works may be pre-approved by the committee.
3) Work is appropriate for family viewing.
Due to indoor space limitations, artists may submit up to three indoor pieces for consideration, completing an online entry form for each work submitted. Space limits the number of entries we can accept; therefore, the Art Show Committee reserves the right to close the entry process at any time, based on the number of submissions.
The indoor art space will have tables for display, although artists may wish to bring their own display stand or easel. Several lighter weight paintings may be attached to the wall using non-marking adhesive tapes, while heavier paintings or collages will require the artists to provide their own stands or easels.
There will be no official limit to the number or size of outdoor entries that may be submitted. Selected work will be displayed for a minimum of one month. The exhibit is dependent on the receipt of a sufficient number of accepted entries. Artwork must be securely installed between April 17-19 by the artist with assistance from a committee member. Hudson Crossing Park is located on N.Y.S. Route 4 - one mile north of the Village of Schuylerville - at Champlain Canal Lock 5 Island. Every artist will be responsible for signing a waiver of release, as this area cannot be monitored.
ELIGIBLE TO ENTER
Anyone may enter. Entrants under 18 must include a signature by a parent or guardian.

JURIED SHOW
The committee has selected a juror, Pat McEvoy, a well-known local artist, who will determine winners of all prizes except the People's Choice Awards, which will be decided by popular vote of attendees over the course of the show. People may vote in-person at Saratoga National Historical Park (one vote per person/per visit please).
