TURN YOUR ART SUPPLIES INTO CREATIVE MAGIC!
Mission
Our mission is to reduce waste, spark creativity, and strengthen our community by giving materials a second life.
Through creative reuse, we make sustainable choices accessible, support local makers and educators, and keep valuable resources out of the landfill and in use where they belong.
What is creative reuse?
Creative reuse gives art supplies a second life.
Usable materials like paint, paper, brushes, fabric, and craft supplies are kept out of the landfill and put back into the hands of artists, educators, students, and makers. By reusing what already exists, we reduce waste, conserve resources, and make creativity more accessible to our community.

How It All Started
This is a space to share more about the business: who's behind it, what it does and what this site has to offer. It’s an opportunity to tell the story behind the business or describe a special service or product it offers. You can use this section to share the company history or highlight a particular feature that sets it apart from competitors.
Let the writing speak for itself. Keep a consistent tone and voice throughout the website to stay true to the brand image and give visitors a taste of the company’s values and personality.
How It All Started
The Creative Reuse Department was created to meet two community needs at once: reducing waste and increasing access to creative materials.
By collecting and redistributing usable art supplies, we support local creativity, environmental responsibility, and a more connected, resourceful community.
We believe that art is for everyone and strive to create a greater access for all through our Reuse program.
