The Resource Exchange Philadelphia's Non-profit Creative Reuse Center
Please CALL/EMAIL for all inquiries – thanks!

We hope to incentivize creative reuse throughout the community by selling all of our material at reduced cost, typically 1/3 to 1/2 off the cost of buying new!

• artists and craftspeople use our donated and salvaged material to create art, furniture, home decor, and other unique creative reuse items.

• film and theater companies utilize salvaged scenery and set decoration in new productions, and are offered more responsible set building and waste management options.

• builders and contractors who utilize green design and building strategies buy our low cost, reclaimed building materials.

• homeowners and renters alike look to us for innovative ways to incorporate salvaged materials into home projects and decor.

• reusable resources and manufacturer surplus can easily be incorporated into art and environmental education programs in public schools and other nonprofit organizations, where funding for materials is often limited.

• environmentally conscious customers benefit from the opportunity to make purchasing decisions with not just cost, but conservation in mind.

We made this video to highlight some of the weirder items in the store and how they could be re-imagined into something new for your costume this year!
We hope to see you in soon.

Exquisite Co**se Art Party tomorrow night!

Creative collaboration is such a great way to let loose with your own process, make exciting discoveries, and just be in community with others!

(In this case, you will also likely get a good laugh)

1920’s surrealist artists knew what they were doing (or just had one too many) when they invented this fun parlor game, each contributing their own section of the co**se without seeing what the artist before them made 🙈 Unfold the page at the end, and voila! You have yourself a deliciously weird Exquisite Co**se.

Join us this 2nd Thursday for some all-levels welcome, super chill collaborative art-making as we draw and collage our own silly co**ses! 🧟‍♀️👨‍🎨

🍻🍿 This event is BYO snacks & drinks
🖌️🎨 All materials will be provided ;)

Featured Artist: Tatum LaRue

“I started this project as a way to combine my day job as a waitress with my artistic practice. I save glass bottles saved from work then clean, cut and re-fuse them into both decorative and functional vessels. Though these pieces are only making a minuscule difference, my goal is to transform these mass produced bottles rather than see them end up in landfills.”

Tatum’s work is on view in our reCreate Gallery until December 2nd
