Recycle for the Arts (R4A)

Recycle for the Arts (R4A) a program of The Green Project is a trash-to-art storefront that supplies low-cost art supplies to the community. R4A provides art materials to individual artists, schools, art programs, galleries, and other non-profit groups at minimal cost. R4A's mission is to promote creative recycling and reuse in the community, support the arts, and educate the public through events and workshops based on creating art from reused materials. This year we will use the proceeds from Worn Again to restock the R4A storefront with quality supplies that will be available to local artists at an extremely low cost. This will help generate new art programs and outreach within our community! LESS WASTE, MORE ART!
