Moab Arts offers the Re-Use Residency to challenge the perception of waste culture by providing a platform for artists at the intersection of art, community, and waste systems.
Through a 4-week residency, the program offers artists studio space, project and community facilitation, a $1500 stipend, access to unlimited materials at local waste disposal sites, and the time and space to focus solely on their art. As a component of each residency, artists spend time providing opportunities for learning, dialog and enrichment within the community.
Materials are provided by Canyonlands Solid Waste Authority and WabiSabi Thrift Store. The residency program is generously supported by the NEA’s Grants for Arts Projects program and general operating support funding from the Utah Division of Arts and Museums.
