ArtScraps is an innovative concept that combines waste management with art making! In a unique partnership with businesses and manufacturers, ArtScraps collects scraps, overstock, factory rejects, and other items normally destined for the landfill. ArtScraps makes these products available to teachers, parents, artists, scout leaders, day care providers – anyone working with children or interested in reducing waste through reuse of discard able materials.

Products are on display, just like any other retail operation. The only difference: customers buy merchandise by the bagful-and you won’t see many of these products in other stores! The stock changes frequently, bringing new surprises every week. Sample projects show how materials can be used, and an artist is available on-site to talk about project ideas. ArtScraps offers a variety of creative programming for children and adults.
