""We accept anything that could be used in some sort of creative way, so it's very open.""
""We like to hire teaching artists that have their own fun, creative ideas that they want to teach.""
""We're really hoping that people want to enjoy their time here and spend their free time creating.""
""I hope people will consider buying reused art supplies rather than buying brand new, so that we can keep things in the circular economy.""
Brooklyn Creative Reuse, launched by Stephanie O'Brien, aims to provide a sustainable solution for art materials in Brooklyn. The nonprofit opened a physical location in Sunset Park after a year of pop-ups and fundraising. It focuses on keeping art supplies out of landfills by accepting donations of various materials. The center offers affordable reselling of these materials and hosts classes led by teaching artists. O'Brien encourages the community to engage in creative activities and consider purchasing reused supplies to support sustainability.
