Thursday, May 16 — RUTLAND — On Thursday evening, May 16, The MINT Makerspace will reopen its downtown location with a fresh new feature: reMake Creative Reuse Shop. Essentially a thrift store for art supplies, reMake will operate in the same storefront that offers handmade wares for sale and hosts STEAM workshops for local youth.
Second-hand art stores (also called “creative reuse centers”) make sure that art supplies, tools, and other upcycle-able creative materials don’t get thrown into the trash — and, instead, get into the hands of makers and artists.
Community members and businesses can donate gently used creative materials to be sold at a fraction of retail price — making creativity more affordable and accessible in Rutland.
After reMake’s opening at Rutland downtown Sip + Shop, the store will be open for business and accepting donations on Wednesdays from 2-6 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
