Junk Drawer Challenge

You may have heard the phrase, “One person’s trash is another person’s treasure”? Well, we really mean it. That’s why we are challenging you to turn trash to treasure in our Junk Drawer Challenge.

Create something new out of the things you find in your junk drawer at home. 

The rules are simple:

  • It can be functional or not.

  • It can be large or small.

  • It can be made of many or few parts.

  • It can be just a great work of art.

DEADLINE June 30, 2020
Upload this entry form along with a photo of your finished object by June 30, 2020 and our panel of junk drawer enthusiasts will award top “prizes” for:

  1. Best Use of Junk

  2. You Made This with That!

  3. Wow! That Came Out of the Junk Drawer?

Adopt-a-B!

SCRAP B House-03.jpg

Do something sweet for bees and our environment. 

We have a variety of "B" houses - bees, birds, bats and butterflies!

All these houses have been hand-decorated by local kids and artists as part of our Bee Our Guest exhibition. For $25 we will send you your preferred species abode and adoption certificate. You can support pollinators by purchasing a B-House at our store.

Birds, bats, bees, butterflies and other small mammals that pollinate plants are responsible for bringing us one out of every three bites of food. They also sustain our ecosystems and produce our natural resources by helping plants reproduce.

All Over The MAP

We want you to be part of a very special delivery for healthcare, food, and grocery store employees who are working hard to make sure we get the supplies and medical care we need at this critical time in our lives.  

The MAP or mail art project consists of post cards, notes, letters and envelopes creatively reconfigured and sent through the mail. Mail art started as an artistic movement in the 1960s but, in this 21st Century adaptation, we want you to create something that can be exchanged through the mail to thank essential workers.

Collage, recycled materials, rubber stamps, paint, poetry, notes – anything that can be put in or on an envelope and sent via post will be accepted. We will exhibit work online and then deliver them.

This thank you mission is open to everyone all over the map!

Teachers & Artists – If you need materials, let us know and we will MAIL you materials. For more information contact Karen Riley at 760/861-6479 or karen@scrapgallery.org.

Deadline for entries is June 26, 2020.
Entries can be sent by mail or virtually:
