Overview

A three part organization, The Artist Re-Source will consist of a store, studio and gallery dedicated to re-sourcing items, destined for landfills, into "recycled" art projects. An organization that is multi-faceted in its rewards, The Artist Re-Source will not only help to inspire creative minds but will provide supplies & space to create, all while recycling.

The Store will collect & re-source art/craft materials, supplies & every day items that can be used to create art. The store is where individuals and organizations can then purchase these items at low cost.

The Studio is a creative area where hands-on, how-to workshops will be held for art projects using "re-sourced" materals. It will also be a place where individuals, whom may not have a space at home, can come to create with re-sourced items they have purchased at the store.

The Gallery is a space where "recycled" art can be displayed and/or sold.
