Calling all teens! Let’s make amazing fashions out of recycled materials. Apply today for rePlay Arts’ “Reuse Runway” spring afterschool program and transform materials destined for the landfill into wearable works of art! 

You might make a gown out of plastic bags, armor out of bottle caps, a suit out of gum wrappers, or anything you can dream up! No art or sewing experience is required. The 8-week program will culminate in a public fashion show event for friends and family.

Reuse Runway is an 8-week program held at CraftStudies (87 Maple Street, WRJ) on Thursdays from 3:30-5:30. The program is free of charge and registration is required.  Reuse Runway is open to students age 12 and up. Program dates are: March 21, March 28, April 4, April 18, April 25, May 2, May 9. Fashion Show date TBD.

rePlay Arts is a community-based arts organization with a mission to inspire and promote environmentally sustainable practices through creative reuse. rePlay Arts collects gently used art and craft supplies, manufacturing leftovers and other no longer needed materials that can be reused for artmaking and redistributes them to the community through arts experiences, education programs, and sales of low- or no-cost art supplies. 

Space is limited. Applications due Feb 15. Applicants will be notified of acceptance by Feb 22.
