Austin Creative Reuse will celebrate a decade of shaping a space for Austin’s creatives to find affordable supplies and community.
The backstory
The local nonprofit opened its brick-and-mortar location in 2015 where community members can donate gently used creative materials which are then collected, processed and resold.
Since its opening, the nonprofit has diverted over three million pounds of creative materials from landfills, according to a news release shared with Community Impact. The nonprofit has also hosted hundreds of workshops and community events including collaborations with Austin Pets Alive to craft dog toys.
