Fern Gookin and Billy Dufala from the Recycled Artist in Residency (RAIR) will be discussing their work with RAIR in promoting connections between sustainability and art.
About RAIR - RAIR provides artists with salvaged materials and comfortable workspace while increasing awareness about the waste stream. This project came out of requests from Philadelphia-based artists wanting access to recycled materials at Revolution Recovery, LLC – a construction and demolition recycling facility in Philadelphia. They’ve been informally donating materials to artists for years, and have dreamed of starting a structured program.
This event is part of the University's efforts to promote RecycleMania, a national recycling competition between colleges and universities. RecycleMania runs from February 5th to March 31st.
