Recology: The Art of Recycling

Join KALW to experience a special viewing and exhibition talk for Recology: The Art of Recycling, selections from Recology’s Artist in Residence Program. Join artists Jane Kim and Kara Maria for a conversation with Deborah Munk, manager of the Recology San Francisco Artist in Residence (AIR) program at KALW’s live event studio at 220 Montgomery. Come early to view works by Kim, Maria, and several other visual artists currently on view in the Mills Building and stay for a lively, climate week discussion. It’s all part of KALW Earth Month, live at 220 Montgomery.

For 35 years, the Recology Artist in Residence Program has supported Bay Area artists. As part of the Sustainability Education Program, the four-month residency provides a rich and immersive environment for artists to develop their practice while deeply engaging with sustainability and community outreach.

​Since 1990, over 190 professional artists and 60 student artists from local universities and colleges have completed residencies. These emerging, mid-career, and established artists have worked across disciplines to explore themes of waste, resourcefulness, and ecological responsibility.
