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.
