Drive Agency
2nd Annual DIY Show- Found Art

Drive Agency is proud to announce our 2nd Annual Do-It-Yourself show. This year’s theme will be focused around “found art”. We will be teaming up with Living Lands & Waters- an organization dedicated to cleaning up the Mississippi River. All of the materials selected for the show will be objects that were once disregarded and dumped in the Mississippi. In order to turn this “junk” into art, we need your help. This is a call for artists to take the junk we collect and turn it into something beautiful. This is a great opportunity to help the environment in a creative way using the found objects as a form of inspiration. We are interested in displaying any and all kinds of art; 2-D, 3-D, Video, Interactive, etc. As with all Drive art shows, those who participate can sell their creations for the price of their choosing. We would like a portion or all of the proceeds to go to the Living Lands & Waters organization. Please contact me if you are interested in participating and if you would like more information.
