Recycle/Up cycle store for various creative materials. We have paint, fabric, frames, brushes, patterns, and much much more - always at below retail prices. Our hope is to make creative supplies more readily available for more people and to give a home to supplies that are not being used.
It's been open since May of 2021 and we have provided supplies for a few hundred artists and have taken in may thousands of dollars worth of donated items. We have attracted new volunteers and are looking forward to continually growing forward.
