About Us

Why

We love art! We choose to be good stewards of the earth and recycle, reduce, reuse, reconfigure, and repurpose as often as possible.

Our Mission: To inspire more art and assist artists in developing skills for art creation by using the resources around them. Our objective is to teach people how to create "art with purpose" reusing discarded, unwanted, and excess items; creating generations of artists and crafters who are more environmentally conscious.

Where

Located on State Street in the center of Ephrata, PA.

Just as you make the turn up State Street to head toward the Green Dragon Farmers Market.
Between the caboose, the old train station, and the Royer building.
The Rails to Trails bike path runs right behind our one story block building.
The large train station mural on the back side of our building.

Free 2 hour public parking is available in the parking lot behind the building.

27 North State Street, Ephrata, PA, 17522
(NOTE: Use common sense when using GPS's as many of them try to place us in Brownstown several miles south of Ephrata)

How

Our funding primairly comes from the sale of donated art supplies.
We are very grateful to all of our crafting donors who make this all possible.
