Applications for Community Forklift's 2026 Circular Showcase close on June 15. If you have original works made primarily from salvaged materials, including furniture, lighting, art, and functional design, this is for you!

Submissions are now open for the Circular Showcase!

We’re looking for artists, makers, builders, designers, and creative reuse enthusiasts who transform salvaged materials into something new. Furniture, lighting, sculpture, functional objects, mixed media, and more — if you create with reuse in mind, we’d love to see your work and ideas.

Selected pieces will be featured in the Circular Showcase Celebration at Community Forklift on October 15, with completed projects due to the reuse warehouse by October 1.

Learn more and apply by June 15:
