About the Organization

Crackedpots is a volunteer board and a small staff who are passionate about resource conservation – we are deeply committed to creatively reducing waste and shrinking landfills through environmental art, repair and providing access to rescued materials for reuse.  We have a mission: to use art to encourage our community to creatively look at trash. Reuse is at the heart of all we do.

At our art shows, we showcase many Northwest artists who make provocative art from reused, recycled and reimagined materials.

At our store, ReClaim It! (reclaimitpdx.org) we rescue materials from the transfer station and sell them to the public for reuse. We hope to inspire reuse, repair and creative reuse or re-imagination of rescued items.

We partner artists with individuals and businesses who have items that they no longer want, but don’t want to throw away and hope will be reincarnated in some artistic fashion.
