A beloved community resource for 30 years, we can't wait to re-use with you! The Art From Scrap Creative Reuse Store is located in downtown Santa Barbara. A program of environmental education and arts nonprofit Explore Ecology, Art From Scrap keeps thousands of pounds of clean, reusable material from ending up in the Santa Barbara County landfill each year. All kinds of treasures donated by businesses and individuals are available as the perfect low-cost potion option for art, theatre, costumes, and other creative projects.
