We Are Looking For Art!
Deuxième Vie Creative is asking for submissions of quality pieces of upcycled and found objects art for our boutique. Art work can be donated or displayed for sale. In exchange for displaying art a portion of the proceeds from art sales will be donated to Deuxième Vie Creative.
Deuxième Vie Creative’s goal is to provide education and inspire artistic reuse of items by providing affordable creative materials that would otherwise be discarded in an Acadiana landfill. Please submit artwork that is at least 75% reused materials.
We have a very large space to decorate but, if by chance, we receive more submissions than we can possibly use we would be happy to display them as space is made available.
We can’t wait to see what you create!
