MECCA's 16th Annual Object Afterlife Art Challenge Exhibition

Announcing MECCA’s 16th Annual Object Afterlife Art Challenge.

Object Afterlife is our favorite event of the year! And we are so excited to share it with you during the opening exhibition and celebration.

Object Afterlife challenges local artists to re-imagine unwanted materials and upcycle scraps into intentional works of art. MECCA challenged nearly 100 artists to make inspiring, thought provoking, and creative works of art out of a mystery bag of scrap materials. Participants are given a mystery bag of materials, $15 in MECCA Money, and three months to create. These artists constantly inspire us as we watch unwanted materials become incredible works of art. The resulting artworks exist in the space where artistic discovery and conservation meet, inspiring us all to think differently about the materials we may consider waste.

The Object Afterlife Artist Reception and Awards Ceremony is a celebration of the work of these inspiring artists. Join us on Friday, October 3, from 5:30 - 8:00 with prizes awarded at 6:30.
