If you live in the Portland (Oregon) area, don’t miss the 5th annual Iron Artist Sculpt-Off — if not to participate then at least to observe recycled art in action. Here’s the lowdown:
The 5th Annual IRON ARTIST Sculpt-Off
Saturday, August 25, 2007
12:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
In the lot at the corner of North Vancouver and Failing (right behind SCRAP) Portland, Oregon
Sponsored by SCRAP (School & Community Reuse Action Project)
” What is Iron Artist? The greatest event of the summer, of course! For all you folks new to the SCRAP scene, Iron Artist is our annual FUNdraiser where 10 teams of artists compete in a timed sculpture competition. Each team receives similar reused materials provided by SCRAP, The ReBuilding Center, Free Geek and more. A theme for the sculptures is announced when the competition begins and teams have 3 hours to complete a masterpiece which is then judged by a panel of local celebrities who then award the prestigious Cup du SCRAP. Teams are encouraged to wear costumes and the event is timed and monitored by a raucous team of referees who throw yellow flags while handing out bonus points and demerits. ”
