Frequently Asked Questions What is Iron Artist? The greatest event of the summer, of course! For all you folks new to the SCRAP scene, Iron Artist is our annual FUNdraiser where 10 teams of artists compete in a timed sculpture competition. Each team receives similar reused materials provided by SCRAP, The ReBuilding Center, Portland Store Fixtures, Free Geek. A theme for the sculptures is announced when the competition begins and teams have 3 hours to complete a masterpiece which is then judged by a panel of local celebrities who then award the prestigious Cup du SCRAP. Teams are encouraged to wear costumes and the event is timed and monitored by a raucous team of referees who throw yellow flags while handing out bonus points and demerits. Who are the celebrity judges? Top Secret... What else is happening? Beer Garden sponsored by Lompoc, Food Vendors, a HUGE raffle with goods from City Bikes, Portland Center Stage, Flex Car, Portland Art Museum, pix, Naked City and so much more... What's a Tchotchki Girl and what will they be selling? Tchtochki girls are like cigarette girls on Scrap. They'll be selling handmade items such as floppy disk journals, Iron Artist bottle cap pins, and coaster sets. They'll also be the folks to see about the latest SCRAP stickers and pins (which are pretty sweet this year). They'll also be hawking raffle tickets. Is there entertainment other than the competition? Heck yeah! DJ Katie P will be providing tunes throughout the day. MCs Bootsy Mylar and Bobby Soxx will be giving the play by play commentary. And the Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers will be providing entertainment while the judges are busy doing there thang... How much will tickets be? $5-20 sliding scale. How can I get in for FREE??
