With support from the California Arts Council, REMAINDERS CREATIVE REUSE will increase
organizational capacity by reinstating our Director of Education, laid off from Covid-19 hardship. Funds are
for the duration of the year 2022-23. Paid management allows consistency in our free programming and
distribution of free materials to the community.
Remainder’s Creative Reuse is a Pasadena-based nonprofit and creative reuse center that supplies abundant low and no-cost arts and crafts materials to a diverse and inter-generational audience as well as educational resources and active arts programming. We provide art opportunities to people of all ages and economic levels, engaging them in maker culture as a means for creative expression, personal growth and well-being while educating artists, artisans and teachers to include creative reuse in their work and training them to teach others. Remainder’s is an inter-generational space where seasoned local artists and makers work side by side with younger generations providing a space for connection and community. New learners benefit from the open sharing of knowledge and experience and older adults benefit from being able to connect and serve the community through our volunteer and workshop programming.
