HEART OF CARTM
We envision a dynamic culture focused on actively using waste as a resource for social, economic and creative benefit.
We are facilitating the reimagination, reuse and repair of our region's resources. We operate a creative reuse store and repair workshop in Wheeler, OR.
Reuse. Repair. Reimagine!
Join Us For An Event
Marine Debris Art Gallery
Showing at Manzanita News and Espresso through April
Hours: 7am - 5pm
Right after the Nehalem Estuary Cleanup this March, we hosted two workshops to transform marine debris into art. Participants reimagined textures and shapes from waste objects to create unique mosaics that were then photographed. Others decorated old frames or created sculptures with bits of marine debris.
Visit the gallery wall to witness the magic of turning muck into masterpiece!
