Free Crafting, Teacher Resources, Community Interactions.

Art of Recycle is a grassroots project that began in 2008 with the simple idea of teaching people how to re-use the everyday items around them to create art rather than discarding unwanted items into the landfill. Not just any art, but useful art that people would treasure and utilize for years.

AoR started in a 10x10 booth in downtown Lancaster hosting free workshops in the evenings and on the weekends.

Art is a fundamental need. 

Art is probably one of the most stress relieving and therapeutic ways of healing your body and mind. Our non profit organization believes that art and music belong in the same category as diet and exercise, and people who are robbed of the ability to create art because of economic hardship live a life of the lowest quality.
