About this center

Creative Reuse Omaha collects gently used arts and craft supplies and sells them at low cost to teachers, artists, and the public. The nonprofit shop at 1820 Vinton Street runs February through December each year, with drop-in workshops in mending, crochet, jewelry, and more. Since 2023 the group has diverted over 4 tons of hard-to-recycle art supplies from landfill.
