Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Regift, Recycle.

Every year, a new “R” is added to the list of ways for us to protect our Earth's valuable resources. Reuse has always been an easy way to reduce the waste we generate and feel it should be your first option before recycling or disposing of an object. Reuse reduces the need to manufacture the same item again, saves resources, and saves money too.

At Retake/Remake, we focus on Creative Reuse and believe that everyone should have access to affordable maker materials. Our store is stocked with gently used, no longer needed and unusual arts and crafts supplies that offer an opportunity to get creative, save money, and do something good for our planet.

In the summer of 2023, we took our message of Creative Reuse to the community, sharing information on sustainable consuming practices, and presenting fun ways to do art with affordable materials. Let's reduce the waste of these valuable materials.

This project was made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the Support of the Governor’s Office and the New York State Legislature and administered by ArtsWestchester.
