REGULAR SHOP HOURS
We are open to the public every day of the week 11 AM – 5 PM.
- Masking Policy:
- During the first hour of each day (11 AM – 12 PM), we kindly ask everyone to wear masks.
- This time is specifically set aside to provide a safer environment for immunocompromised individuals and others who prefer masking.
- At all other times, masks are strongly recommended and we will have them available at the front desk.
- We understand that everyone has different needs, so if you require extra shopping time or prefer a private shopping appointment (more info below), email us at shop@pccr.org to set something up. Let’s keep our creative space safe and inclusive for all!
- Material donations by appointment can be scheduled here. Or, we can accept one box per household as a walk-in donation during regular shop hours (11 AM – 5 PM daily). Learn more about material donations here.

About our Organization
Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse is a non-profit that inspires creativity, conservation, and community engagement through reuse.
We operate a non-traditional art supply shop located at the intersection of Wilkinsburg, Homewood, and Point Breeze, where people can donate used art and craft supplies, as well as shop for these unique items all in the same location. We also facilitate hands-on creative programming that educates the public about the benefits of reuse for the environment, community, and self.
We see reuse as a vehicle for boosting self-confidence, learning new skills, and creating opportunity for all.
General Policy: No sexism. No racism. No ableism. No ageism. No homophobia. No transphobia. No hate. We believe that people from marginalized communities deserve to be supported, respected, and safe.
