18 // COASTWEEKEND.COM AVA, Recology invite artists to create with cast-off materials Deadline to submit materials is March 31 ASTORIA — Recol- ogy Western Oregon (RWO) and Astoria Visual Arts (AVA) are pleased to announce the fourth round of the Coastal Oregon Art- ist Residency Program. Recology and AVA aim to support the creation of art from recycled, repur- posed and discarded mate- rials recovered from the PRESENTS Recology Astoria Recy- cling Depot and Trans- fer Station. The residency provides the two selected artists with access to dis- carded materials, a stipend of $1,000 per month for four months, studio space at RWO’s Warrenton-based facility and, at the close of the residency, a public exhibition in Astoria. By supporting art- ists who work with recy- cled materials, RWO and AVA hope to encourage the public to conserve natural resources and promote new ways of thinking about art and the environment. Two four-month residencies will begin June 1 and end Sept. 30. During their residen- cies, artists have week- day scavenging privileges at the Astoria Transfer Sta- tion and access to a studio space at RWO’s Warrenton offi ce. RWO encourages artists to spend roughly 20 hours per week on their art projects. Eligibility The Coastal Oregon Art- ist Residency is open to local, career-level artists living in Clatsop and Tilla- mook counties in Oregon and Pacifi c and Wahkia- kum counties in Washing- ton who are working in any style or medium.
