From Thursday, May 16 to Sunday, May 19, 2024, we will gather in Nehalem, OR, at the White Clover Grange for an unforgettable extravaganza of the senses as the Trash Bash celebrates its 25th anniversary with a Trash, Boom, BANG!
Under the banner of “Rising from the Trashes” storytellers, visual artists, community activists, musicians, and runway trashion models will show off their creativity and passion for the natural beauty that surrounds us and the environment we’re passionate about preserving by turning trash into art! Should you be there? Absolutely!
Each artist puts their own unique spin on the experience and “you walk away with a sense of common purpose with a community of people” says Jennifer Nightingale, an Astoria-based novelist and storyteller who has returned to the Trash Bash to tell trash-inspired tales again and again. “When I come to the Trash Bash, I feel understood . . . I’ve never participated in any group where I felt so instantly welcomed.”
What do all of the participants have in common? “They take great delight in our natural world and,” as Nightingale stresses, “if you don’t fight for it, it won’t be here. The interesting thing about the trash bash is,” she goes on, “that there are moments of humor, pathos . . . the experience really runs the gamut of emotions—but in the end, it’s fun. The feeling that runs throughout is JOY.”
A writer and storyteller from Astoria, OR, Nightingale and her husband adopted a stretch of river beach eight years ago that they clean up several days a week. This experience and the trash she has collected by doing so over the years inspired her most recent Trash Bash tale. But participation is not limited to storytellers alone! Visual artists, fashion models, musicians, passionate volunteers, and community activists are all encouraged to get involved: “Just bring whatever gifts you have.”
“By participating,” Nightingale reflects, “it changes your response to trash. It heightens your empathy, your careful skills of observation. It helps you value trash and see all of its potential. It helps you walk away with a new perspective: Can you find the story inside the trash? Can it be repurposed somehow? Each item of trash tells a story. You’ll learn to see in new ways, beyond the item’s initial purpose.”
Why should you participate? Nightingale doesn’t hesitate, “It’s very meaningful. No matter what [which art form] you do, you’re telling a story. We all have to step up and do a little piece.” Maybe best of all, by participating and submitting your work of art/story/trashion, it’s a way to love the Coast back: “I love it here,” Nightingale gushes. “I love the power of the Coast. The rivers and estuaries. To be with a community of people who care for the well-being of this community is just AWESOME!”
If that’s you too, we would love to see your trash craft or hear your trashy story!

Together we are Rising from the Trashes, to leave our hearts a little more full and our landfills a little more empty.

Don’t forget to check-in to the Thursday EVCNB Yellow Radio Net at 6:00 on channel 119.
Join the weekly practice where Yellow Radio owners hone their communication skills. Each practice has a brief Educational Moment covering a vast array of preparedness tips, accessories, strategies to keep your radio charged when the power is out and radio techniques.
Communication is one of the most important components of emergency preparedness and response. In many emergencies, especially a major earthquake and tsunami like the anticipated Cascadia Subduction Zone event, usual communication pathways like landlines, cell phones and the internet will be unavailable.

Join March gallery artist and explorer Keri Rosebraugh for a Friday evening lecture and on Saturday for a unique workshop exploring our precious resource called water: our connection with it, the mystical aspects of it, and how we can collaborate with it in our own artwork.
On Friday, March 29, 2024, from 5:00 to 6:30 pm, Rosebraugh will share her personal journey and fascination with water and its intrinsic connection to our lives. The conversation will touch upon the “Theory of the Sublime” as manifested in nature as well as how Rosebraugh integrates water into her artistic practice.
On Saturday, March 30, 2024, from 10: am to 5:00 pm, Rosebraugh will direct students as they begin the day with group activities involving water and will work together to create a large medicine water wheel outside to energize, celebrate, and honor water. Weather permitting, we will utilize the ocean tide and combine salt water and sand with our own interpretations of water on paper.
The afternoon will entail creating Cyanotype prints, which is a photographic printing process that produces blue prints using coated paper and light. We will then soak the prints in water to complete our images. Using objects from nature found near the Hoffman Center for the Arts, we will form various shapes and shadows in our prints. This workshop emphasizes experimentation, investigation, and the discovery of how water plays an important role in our lives.
Full and partial scholarships are available. For more information and registration visit: hoffmanarts.org/
