Frequently Asked Questions
Are you open?
Currently, our in-person shop is closed, and in-person events and programs are cancelled. Out of care and concern for our community, our staff, and our volunteers, we will not be open to the public in our physical space until it is safe to do so. We are keeping a close eye on the ever-changing situation in Pittsburgh and have plans in place to eventually reopen. Please check back here and on social media for updates.

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 homophobia. No transphobia. No hate. We believe that everyone deserves to be supported, respected, and safe.
