Turn junk into art.
Then into good.
We're building a charity auction called The Art of Intelligence. AI finds the art hiding in everyday junk. Artists like you make it real. Spots are limited — finished work is due November 11, 2026.

The call for artists, straight from the street. 45 seconds.
How it works
AI finds the art
Our AI reviews photos of items hauled by 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Seattle and flags the pieces with real art potential.
You upcycle it
We hand you the piece. You transform it into original work — your medium, your style, your call. We film the process.
Finished art due Nov 11, 2026
Send the finished piece back to us by November 11 so it can be photographed and staged for the show.
It goes to auction
Your work is displayed beside the original junk photo at The Art of Intelligence auction. Proceeds are split between you and the charity, Mothers 2 Mothers (mothers-2-mothers.org) — a Renton, Washington charity working alongside families in Ethiopia on food security, education, and economic independence.
From our July 2026 show
Seattle artists, live canvases, and a room full of people who came to see what AI and real hands can do together. This is the energy we're building on.
