    • Mission

    SERVING THE CHICAGO CREATIVE AND EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITIES WITH A PASSION FOR ART AND REUSE.

    About Us

    The WasteShed seeks to provide Chicago with an organized, affordable, and reliable resource for repurposed art, craft, and school materials, and with a dynamic center for activities pertaining to sustainability, art, craft, education, and material culture. We connect Chicagoans who are interested in:

    • living more sustainably
    • seeking inspiration in unconventional materials
    • getting the most out of the resources

      they have on hand

    • or just making projects at a low cost.

    While sustainability is the ultimate goal, creative reuse foregrounds practical, economical, and fun hands-on activities as points of entry into larger discussions about the things we own, and the way we live.

    • Arts & Music
