Seattle Re Creative
About us
Seattle ReCreative keeps good stuff out the landfill so you can make art with it!
We collect from local businesses and individuals donated materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill to redistribute to our community. Proceeds from the resale of these goods help us to fund our arts programming and enable us to provide free creative materials and professional development workshops to local public educators.
We believe that art fuels innovation and collaboration, and endeavor to create a physical space and programmatic approach that reflects this belief. Our hope is that Seattle ReCreative will function as much more than a model for environmental stewardship. We see the space as a catalyst for social and intellectual enrichment. By bringing together members of our community to shop, create, experience, and discuss art and creative reuse, we aim to foster cultural and personal connection amongst artists and environmental stewards of all ages.
Our classes and creative playspace provide young children with developmentally appropriate art-making experiences, while also exposing them to adult art practices and appreciation. Workshops are conducted by artists, educators and environmental activists from both inside and outside our community.
Additionally, we have a space for rotating exhibitions of art created from salvaged materials and an artist marketplace. Gallery events will inspire artists, stimulate social connections and provide fundraising opportunities.
We believe that art has the power to change human consciousness, and that our project will challenge others to think more broadly about interpersonal and global impact.

Marie C. asked:This could be total pie in the sky! Does anyone know of any art camps as in summer art camps for kids that use vegan art supplies? Perhaps I'm dreaming, but I'm hoping this exists. Thanks!!Britni M. replied:My work donates here. They focus on reusing things so there is the sustainability aspect. They also accept donations so maybe vegan supplies could be donated or brought for that specific class. http://www.seattlerecreative.org/

Jody A. asked:I'm looking for suggestions for drop in classes or play spaces on M-W mornings that would be fun for 4 year olds. We have only been in Ballard for five months and I would like to explore a bit more! I find that drop in classes are great for our family, so I'm especially interested in those.Shandi B. replied:Check out Seattle ReCreative https://m.facebook.com/seattlerecreative And Seattle gymnastics open gym from 12-1 daily http://www.seattlegymnastics.com/ballard/
