Scrap Heap Art Challenge

Deepdale Farms are seeking out Eco Artists to create a piece for the North Norfolk Coast Earth Day 2010

Deepdale Backpackers & Camping and Deepdale Farm are holding their annual North Norfolk Coast Earth Day on Thursday 22nd April 2010. They are looking for artists or school groups who would like to get creative with scrap and recyclable materials to take part in a Scrap Heap Art Challenge. Artists will be welcome to use any of the recyclable or scrap items available on the Deepdale site to create sculptures or art pieces that will then be displayed around the hostels and campsite. The Scrap Heap Art Challenge will be judged by a small panel of judges, who will be looking for creativity, unusual use of recyclable materials and even audience participation. Artists will have from 9am to 3.30pm to create their artwork, when they will be judged and prizes awarded. Artists will be promoted on the Deepdale website (www.deepdalefarm.co.uk ) and the winning artist or school team will win a stay in a tipi and be invited to be a judge at next year’s Scrap Heap Art Challenge.
