Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Visit the shop at 1800 N. American St during open hours, or use the volunteer sign-up link on the site for the next volunteer day..

You can just show up.

What to expect

A shop visit is a browse through donated and reclaimed art and craft supplies, sold at low prices. The gallery shows work by local artists and makers who use reclaimed materials. Volunteer days and workshops have set times and sign-up links, but the site does not give a general shift length.

Tips for your first visit

  • Free customer parking is in the fenced lot, and the shop sits on the right side toward the north end.
  • The shop is not listed as open on Monday or Tuesday, so plan for Wednesday to Sunday.
  • Ask about the cost of a workshop before you sign up, since the site does not show it.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Visitors can walk into the shop and gallery with no sign-up, and volunteer days and workshops use sign-up links, but the site gives no volunteer age limits or workshop costs..
