We LOVE crowdsourcing
Over various community projects we have reached out the public to ask for upcycled and recycled materials to use in our art programming. The response is always overwhelming. This generosity has allowed us to lower fees for programs, keeping our material costs as low as possible while also showing students that the possibilities are endless and accessible when it comes to creating. Since we have had so many people reach out to ask us what we may use, we have compiled a master list of items we are always going through and that we love transforming. If you have anything kicking around in junk drawers, art cupboards, garages etc, that just aren’t getting use, consider donating them to us for art programming materials. Reach out via email if you have any of the following materials. If you have an interesting item you think may be useful please reach out anytime.
