DISCARTED
The Ojai Art Festival is holding an international juried show of art created from trash, discarded objects and materials. The art will be shown in approx. 40 shops, restaurants and galleries in Ojai from November 7 thru November 24, 2013.
The opening weekend is November 7-10, coinciding with the Ojai Film Festival's Focus Earth screenings.
Every year, nearly 4,500 people attend the film festival events. It is our goal to stimulate environmental awareness, encourage conservation, and promote new ways of thinking about art, sustainability, and the environment.
DISCARTED asks artists to work with trash, discarded
objects and materials to raise questions and ideas, aesthetic and
moral, about the life of the planet our wasteful society threatens. |
Juror
Deborah Munk has served as the Director of the Artist in Residence Program at Recology since 2007.
The Artist in Residence Program at Recology San Francisco is a unique art and education program that provides Bay Area artists with access to discarded materials, a stipend, and a large studio space at the Recology Solid Waste Transfer and Recycling Center. By supporting artists who work with recycled materials, Recology hopes to encourage people to conserve non-renewable resources and promote new ways of thinking about art and the environment.

Juried awards
Ojai Art Festival presents 3 juried awards:
| First place: $1500 | | Second place: $800 | | Third place: $500 |
Olsberg Steiner awards: The quality of submissions was so high that the juror
felt special $250 awards should be made to two additional outstanding submissions,
which Ojai residents Christine Steiner and Nicholas Olsberg have
generously supported.
The awards will be presented on Sunday, November 10, 2013 at 11:00 am at the awards ceremony with the Ojai Film Festival at the Ojai Art Center, 113 S. Montgomery Street.
