GLEAN

GLEAN GLEAN is a juried art program that gives artists access to the Metro Central transfer station to make art to be shown in a formal exhibition in the fall.

GLEAN is a juried program that gives selected artists from the Portland area (Multnomah, Washington or Clackamas county residents) access to the Metro Central transfer station (“the dump”) to glean materials to use to create art. GLEAN is a partnership between Recology, an employee-owned company that manages a variety of resource recovery facilities; Metro, the regional government that manages the

Portland metropolitan area’s garbage and recycling system; and crackedpots, an environmental arts non-profit. We encourage artists working in a variety of media to apply. At this time, we are not seeking photography or AV projects. Program Elements
• Artists will have the opportunity to glean materials from Metro Central transfer station for the 6 months of the program duration.
• Each artist will be required to create a minimum of 8 pieces available for sale at the exhibition.
• Ninety-five percent of each piece must be created from materials gleaned from the transfer station.
• Each Artist will be paid a $2,000 stipend upon the successful completion of the program.
• Each Artist will receive 80% commission from the sale of their art at the 2016 exhibition.
• Applicants must be a resident of Multnomah, Washington, or Clackamas counties.
• Recology and Metro will each retain one piece from each artist for public exhibition.
• Artists are required to sign an Artist Agreement and attend a Safety Training before gleaning.
• Artists must be available for monthly weekday meetings.
