From the RAIR team, THANK YOU for supporting our organization and 2026 programming at this year’s Trash Bash!!!
We’d like to express our gratitude to the volunteers who came out and helped throughout the night, the board, the sponsors, all the in-kind donations, donating artists, everyone in the RAIR family, and most importantly, YOU for being a part of this amazing community! 🤗🫂
If you weren’t able to attend or contribute to Trash Bash this year, it’s not too late to give!
RAIR’s residency program provides artists on-site access to recovered materials and a studio space to produce work. The RAIR workspace includes a large project space, wood shop equipment, metal working facilities, access to the waste stream for materials, and a material storage area. Each artist has attentive support from RAIR’s staff, who act as liaisons between the artist and the recycling facility.
“Though we set out to explore paper making and printmaking using found materials, we did not anticipate the way in which the FLOW of objects at RAIR would insinuate itself into our work, visually. Much of what we created reflects the moving, dispersive, overflowing, frenetic nature of RAIR, and the waste stream, itself.”
As a non-profit arts organization, RAIR relies on the support of it’s community. You can help us continue to grow and spread our mission!
“I feel like my work is changing even just being there. Anytime you
can go as an artist to a space and have that change your work,
it’s pretty amazing.”
