The first Objet Trouve' challenge has ended and works have been delivered. The first challenge utilized windows that were donated to Emergent Arts. We had 6 windows, and 4 artists took part. These are the results!Artists were able to alter the windows in any way they wanted. This challenge is anonymous to avoid skewed voting, so if you made one of these or know who made one of these, please do not comment that information. Voting takes place here on social media. The piece with the most likes, loves, or wows will win! The artist of the winning piece will win a free month membership to Emergent Arts Studios. Let the voting begin! We'll count votes until next Thursday (Jan 20, 2022).If you're interested in taking part in one of our Objet Trouve' challenges, look for our previous post about the second challenge which is an altered fabric book. ...

Call for Artists!Introducing our next Objet Trouvé Art Challenge: Altered Fabric Book!Objet trouvé means "found object" and Emergent Arts and the Pop-Up Art Supply Shop is full of 'em! We have so much cool stuff to share with you, and we thought this would be a great way to do it. The Objet Trouvé Art Challenge is completely free, and in fact, if you win the challenge we'll give YOU something-- a free month of membership to the Emergent Arts Studios. Our studios include a wood shop, darkroom, textile workroom, ceramics studio, and a sculpture studio. Our large studio upstairs offers the perfect place to spread out with a painting or drawing. We think a free month of 24/7 access to our space is a great prize and think you'll think so, too!This how you play:-Every quarter, we'll find a new object for you to use in an artwork, and you have to use it! You can add other objects of your own choosing, as well. You can paint it, cut it up and reassemble it, alter it in any way.-We'll have a limited number of objects, so it'll be first come first serve when it comes to picking out the perfect one for you.-For our second round, your piece must be completed by April 15th, 2022. -Judging will be blind (meaning no one should know who made the piece of art), on social media. Do not post images of your work prior or during voting, and telling voters who's work is yours or someone else's is grounds for disqualification. These rules make the competition more fair to everyone and hopefully will keep judging from becoming a "popularity contest" rather than an honest appreciation for the art itself. The artwork which receives the most votes (likes, loves, any sort of react) will be the winner, and the artist will receive their free month of membership!-As well as a free membership, if the artwork is easily displayed (ready to hang, not too heavy to hang, sturdily made, small enough to fit in our space), it will have a prominent place in the Circle Gallery until the next competition!Our next item up for alteration is a fabric sample book! We also have a variety of buttons, loose fabrics, yarn, a small selection of beads and other findings you may choose from. Your finished book can incorporate any other material you desire. Pages can be painted, written or drawn on, sewn, embroidered, folded... See the pictures included in this post for inspiration! You can drop in M-F 1-4PM, or make an appointment with kara@emergentarts.org. You can also ask Kara any questions you might have about the challenge. ... See MoreSee Less

Alright! Voting has closed and canned goods have been counted! Altogether, we collected around 470 food items for donation to Project HOPE Food Bank! 😮Several artists/groups really stacked the odds in their favor (which how can you even be mad about that when we raised so much food! 😇) but it made counting accurate votes a little difficult. We revamped the voting process slightly to make it more fair and below are the results! With votes so difficult to count, we are offering all the individual artists in the competition a month of free studio membership. Kara will be in touch with each of you about this.And the winners are: 🥁 BEST OVERALL- INDIVDUAL ARTIST- Phil Chwalinski with Black and White BEST OVERALL-GROUP TREE- Benton High School, Art III with Wood Tree with Mini PaintingsWe felt like EVERYONE did such a great job, we wanted to recognize everyone for their unique contribution to the competition, so below are the other awards we are recognizing!TREE WITH THE MOST DINOSAURS—RAWR!- Regine Skydron with Dino Tree-RexARTIST WHO THOUGHT MOST OUTSIDE THE BOX.
