“Re-Source” Exhibition Invites Artists with Sustainable Creative Work
By Ciera Tsosie
Northern Arizona is invited to submit their work to the “Re-Source,” a multimedia exhibition opened at the HeArt Box Gallery in
Flagstaff. In partnership with the Azulita Project, a nonprofit organization working to reduce plastic waste, the exhibit is aimed to inspire creativity surrounding ecological mindfulness and reminding us of our collective responsibility to maintain the environment.
The exhibition will run April 24 to May 31, 2026, with an opening reception on April 24. The deadline to submit artwork is March 1, 2026 at 11:59 PM (MST).
Compared to other exhibits, Re-Source challenges its artists to reflect on the sustainability of their work as they will be created from recycled material, repurposed items, biodegradable or locally sourced materials. Artists have to be able to identify where their materials come from, incorporating creative practices into reducing waste when constructing a piece and identifying what will happen to their materials when it is complete.
There are some additional requirements you may need to check out if you are interested. Acceptable mediums include paintings, drawings, printmaking, photography, collage, sculptures, fiber arts, ceramics, jewelry and mixed media. The maximum size for a piece is 24” x 24”. You may submit up to three artworks with their materials list, a 150-word Artist Materials Statement, and a $15 submission fee.
Jury review will take place between March 4-8, winning artists will be notified the week of March 16th.
Why It Matters
This event allows incoming artists to explore and experiment creatively using eco-conscious materials for the purpose of increasing awareness about ecological mindfulness. Through bringing artists together it engages the community to utilize spaces in Northern Arizona to showcase their unique talent. You’re not only making an impact locally, but globally as Re-Source is helping to fundraise for the Azulita Project.
