August Program – The Scrap Exchange

Chellie LaPointe, outreach and education coordinator, will speak about creative reuse, and programs at the Scrap Exchange. The Scrap Exchange is a nonprofit creative reuse arts center located in Durham, North Carolina. Their mission is to promote creativity, environmental awareness, and community through reuse.
Since 1991, they have been collecting materials from local businesses and residents and distributing these reclaimed materials through a variety of programming. Their creative reuse arts center contains a retail store, an Artist Marketplace, an art gallery, a Design Center to host classes, a Make and Take room for open studio art-making, interactive art installations like our Rio de Reuse, and much more.
