Programs

At Arts & Scraps, we are proud to offer a diverse range of creative reuse programs designed to engage and empower people of all ages. Our offerings include both educational and community-based programming, each tailored to support different needs while fostering life-long learning, social-emotional support, growth, creativity, and connection.

Aligned with our mission to provide educational programming through creative reuse, Arts & Scraps engages children from Pre-K to 5th Grade in creativity, critical thinking, and conversations about environmentalism. We’re thrilled to offer our popular one-time workshops, a community favorite, throughout the month of April. To book an Earth Month workshop or learn more, click here. 

Our 6 to 12-week programs are based on STEAM lessons that follow state standards. They are designed to get kids in Pre-K to 5th grade excited about STEAM by using fun, hands-on activities through creative reuse. Teachers and community leaders can pick from different learning tracks, each focusing on a specific topic. Our programs are tailored to the experience of the learner and encourage creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving—skills that help kids love learning for life.

Arts & Scraps’ in-house field trips invite classes into our creative classroom for an immersive, hands-on learning experience. Students explore a qualitative STEM concept through a guided art activity using reused materials and also have the opportunity to shop in our adjacent Community Store. This experience encourages creativity, collaboration, and thoughtful material exploration in a dynamic learning environment.

Arts & Scraps’ individual workshops offer hands-on, facilitator-led experiences where participants create a guided craft using reused materials. Each workshop highlights a qualitative STEM concept through art integration, encouraging creative problem-solving, critical thinking, and exploration. Workshops are adaptable to age group, theme, and learning goals, making them engaging and accessible for all learners.

Our Creative Cafe Meetups are FREE, community-driven events hosted by Arts & Scraps to bring creatives together in a relaxed, collaborative space. Each month, we partner with a different creative or community group to lead the meetup. Attendees can work on personal projects or collaborate with others while enjoying specialty coffee and beverages from Eastside Roasterz, all free of charge. Plus, everyone receives a free bulk shopping bag to explore creative supplies in our store. Whether working solo or with others, our Creative Cafe Meetups are a great chance to connect, create, and be inspired! For more info, call or visit our store.
