Mission Statement
Scraplanta Inc. is a non-profit whose mission is to promote environmental awareness, education, and artistic expression to the greater Atlanta community through the collection and reuse of materials for arts and crafts.
Description
Scraplanta makes art more accessible for the community by providing a space for artists to de-stash and re-stash their supplies. Our Creative Reuse Center hosts a retail space for folks to purchase affordable supplies for classrooms, art studios, and DIY craft projects. We are also in the process of building out a classroom in the back of our space for members of the community to explore new mediums and share their talents with a larger audience. We've partnered with both local and private schools to provide supplies for curriculums centered around sustainability and creativity. In 2022, we diverted over 18,000 pounds of materials from the landfill.
Scraplanta is one of several several Creative Reuse Centers around the world with the purpose of providing low-cost supplies to help artists, teachers, makers, and more discover more ways to reduce waste and increase art!
