Art Remains Creative ReUse

Mission: To inspire individual & community creativity To increase access to affordable creative resources To give new life to dormant materials and keep usable items out of the landfill To promote sustainable behavior through the capturing, reuse and sharing of discarded creative materials and tools. ​ Vision: To cultivate a community of creative, conscious consumers who choose to reuse good materials before purchasing an excess of new materials for their creative, educational and business activities. We aim to reduce the burden on the individual and support a diversity of community members and goals. We aspire toward community partnerships that will help us grow in the future so that we may one day provide creative education opportunities, shared workshop space and promote life-long learning and creativity.

We collect clean, safe creative material donations (from scraps and teaching supplies to art supplies and unique odds and ends) from households, individuals, businesses, and industries. We re-distribute them as low-cost supplies for art, education, invention and other creative purposes.
