ReCreate Miami!
published 2022 / written by Emily Peters
It’s time to ReCreate, Miami!
Most major cities have a creative reuse center, where artists and artisans can find gently used surplus art materials, and locals and businesses can close their open-ended waste cycles by donating or selling useable materials that they would otherwise throw away. So, while I don’t yet have the resources or capital to launch a full creative reuse center for Miami, I’ve created a virtual network where we can all find, trade, or sell our extra materials for creative reuse and get to know each other too!
We’re starting out as an Instagram account, so the best way to support and participate is to
