CHAPEL HILL – Twenty works of art using recycled, re-purposed or cast-off materials are on display at University Mall until August 23 as part of the Fifth Annual Scrapel Hill Art Competition and Exhibit.
Thursday, the competition and exhibit will be recognized with an artists reception and awards ceremony from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. on the UMall stage.
The event is free and open to the public. This year’s competition features a new category in which interactivity has spurred new surprises for the artist to create for the viewer.
First place, second place, and “Best Interactive Artwork” will be announced Thursday, as chosen by distinguished jurors Gerald Bolas, Director of the Raleigh Arts Commission, and Linda Dougherty, Curator of Contemporary Art at the North Carolina Museum of Art. A people’s choice award will be given at a closing reception on August 23.
