What is it ?
For 15 years, the nonprofit organization crackedpots has held a popular recycled art show at Edgefield Lodge in Troutdale. For those same 15 years, the group has dreamed of having a storefront location with a retail store and art gallery to further their mission. That dream is coming true this summer with the opening of ReClaim It! Located at 1N Killingsworth, the new store will sell a wide array of art materials and found objects to serious artists, treasure hunters, and the hip DIY community of Portlandia. The grand opening event will take place on Friday, June 27th. The public is invited to attend.
So, what’s so exciting about this new store? Nearly all items in the store have been salvaged directly from the Metro Central Transfer Station. So far ReClaim It! volunteers have saved over four tons of clean, reusable material from the landfill in just one month. The store, on the corner of Killingsworth and Williams, is already full of fabulous finds: musical instruments, multi-paned old wooden windows, old metal boxes, a copper clad screen door, metal wheels and gears, flooring samples, a picket fence, turned chair legs, an iron bed frame, a mahogany dining table, metal pieces of all shapes and sizes, doors, fishing rods, typewriter parts, and the list goes on! With new items being added every week there is no end to the possibilities of what you might find at ReClaim It!
The first show in the ReClaim It! Gallery will focus on art pieces created by local artists using materials found at the transfer station as a part of the GLEAN program, an artist in residence program supported by crackedpots, Metro, the regional government for the Portland metropolitain area, and ReCology, a private waste and resource recovery business.

(Cannibals Gallery has had two artists chosen in earlier seasons for the Glean Program, an art residency, which allows a group of local artists each year to glean for materials at the Metro Transfer Station (the city dump) to use for their work.)
