Crackedpots Art Show

Approximately one hundred artists were gathered together today (and tomorrow) to sell their reuse/recycled/up-cycled art.  I had attended this event for the first time last year, setting up several pieces of my newly completed assemblage work at the table advertising the Glean Program (an art residency which sends artists into the city dump for six months each year).  The same table was set up this year...I got to meet one of this year's glean artists, Chris Wagner, with some of the wood carvings that he had recently completed from wood he had gleaned from the Metro Transfer Station during the last few months:

Amy Wilson, glean administrator, was  also there:

While standing there chatting about this year's program, Mike came along, who was one of the artist's from year ONE of the glean program.   We were somewhat amazed that we had a small "collection of artists" from all three years standing in one spot, so we took another quick photo, documenting the event (Chris on the left, me in the middle, Mike on the right):

Before long, Eric Rosewall, also one of this year's glean artist's, showed up...thus, another photo:

If you live in the area, you may want to attend this year's Glean Program group show held again at the Disjecta Gallery (8371 N. Interstate Av., Portland, OR).  The opening reception is Friday, August 16, 6:00 to 9:00 pm.
The show runs from August 16 through Sept.8...gallery hours are noon to 6:00 pm, Friday through Saturday.   I'm really looking forward to meeting the rest of these artists and seeing their work.

A few of the other highlights from the many other artists selling their work...everything made from the kinds of materials that would have otherwise ended up in some landfill:
