A very unique art contest will be held for the first time by the Pfarkel Sisters of Junk (re)defined. The “Recycled/Salvaged Art Project” is available to students ages 10-18. The contest is open to all students including homeschooled children as well as 4-H groups. Students may enter the contest as an individual or as a group.
The “Recycled/Salvaged Art” may be functional or non-functional, created from items and/or materials that were once used with a different purpose, have been discarded or would have ended up in the landfill. The project must be at least fifty percent or more recycled material and the student must solely complete at least ninety percent of the project.
Idea submissions were turned in and the completed product must be submitted by May 30, 2013. Final selections will be made on June 10. The art will be judged on originality, artistic or functional usage and use of salvaged materials. The items will then be on display at the Pfarkel Sisters 5th annual Vintage Treasure Market on the Farm, 29452 Co. Rd. 11, Fountain, Minn. (4 miles NE of Fountain on Co. Rd. 11) which will be held June 13-15. It will be up to each student or group if they would like to sell their projects at the market.
The Pfarkel Sisters consist of Sharon Vreeman, of Fountain, Minn., Janell Kraut, of Spring Valley, Minn., and Dianne Perry of Elba, Minn. According to the Pfarkel Sisters, Junk (re)defined is “a business that re-purposes unwanted, discarded and neglected items and turns them into items with a new life and new uses.” They then sell the items as vendors at JunkMarket Style Events, and Junk Bonanza as well as other venues.
Sharon Vreeman states that she grew up recycling and salvaging products and adds “there’s never been a time when we haven’t done it.” She recalls one of her first major projects was a old family trunk she refinished, which she still has. Another meaningful project of Sharon’s is a quilt she made out of her handmade dresses from when she was young.
According to the Pfarkel Sisters, the purpose of the “Recycled/Salvaged Art Project” is “to encourage others and especially school age individuals to consider new ways of recycling and reusing items rather than sending them to the curb for the garbage man to pick up.”
There are different categories for the art projects including Fabric/Fiber, Glass, Metal, .....
