Our Mission:
To inspire sustainable lifestyle changes through individual, innovative artistic exhibitions.
What is the RIPPLE Effect?
We put together a team of diverse artists to work with recovered river debris with the hopes of inspiring a community to make sustainable lifestyle choices. You don’t have to be an artist to inspire change. It is through the reformation of the thought process, getting people to think outside of the blue recycling bin and becoming an active recycler.
This event started from a single idea. One person came together with a few friends and thought it would be a great idea to clean out the Clackamas. That one idea became a 7 year adventure, evolving to a 300 person team of volunteers. Now these volunteers routinely retrieve over 6,000 lbs of trash, and sort it for proper recyclables. And this immense effort inspires a community of artists to take a turn in the ripples of a great sustainable cause.
Recycling Innovators Pursuing Positive Lifestyle Exhibitions
The RIPPLE Effect is a movement supporting individuals who embark upon sustainable artistic endeavors. We believe that art is inspirational alone, and through artistic exhibitions we hope create an annual event that will resonate through the community.
