Object Afterlife- MECCA's annual event 17 years running — asks artists to re-imagine materials that are often considered unwanted and turn such “scraps” into masterpieces. Participants receive a mystery box of materials and a MECCA gift certificate, and they’re given the summer to create. The desired result: artworks that exist in the space where artistic discovery and conservation meet, inspiring us all to think differently about the materials we may consider waste.This year, MECCA's OA exhibition opens on Friday, October 2nd 2026 at 5:30 pm. Judges select their favorite pieces and artists recipients are announced at 6:30 p.m. during the opening. The public are invited to cast their votes for their favorite pieces throughout the exhibition ending on Sunday, November 1st. 2026.
