Turnip Green Creative Reuse

This is an awesome, and I mean awesome place for artist, crafters and kids! Please take the time to check out Turnip Greens and if you have craft/​artist materials or fabric to throw out please recycle it at TG so other artist/​crafters can take advantage of the wonderful items available here. There’s everything from canvas paper, fabric, beads and paint to dolls, wonderful display of local artist and an area for kids to create while Mom/​Dad is looking through all the cool stuff here. I will be going back soon and I tell all my friends about this place!!! The ladies working here are also so kind and take you around to show you everything available!!! My granddaughters loved their experience here and want to go back everyday!!!

There is art hanging on the exposed brick walls (the Green Gallery) and all manner of materials, such as fabric, tiles, carpet samples, paper, plastics and other items that would have ended up in the dump in well-​organized bins and shelves waiting to be bought for a song and used for projects for artists, schools, communities and homes. (As of the writing of this review, they currently have 10 cent tiles for sale, and chipped ones are being given away.)
They also carry handmade items made from repurposed goods by local artists and artisans — my favorites are the purses, messenger bags and organizers made from recycled car seat belts by Salvage: Upholstery and Design. They also usually have seasonal items — Christmas ornaments, Valentine’s Day art, etc.
The Green Gallery is used to curate shows for local reuse artists. Artists who have had shows here include Jorge Mendoza and Michael Hap Hapner, who also have taught workshops at Turnip Green demonstrating some of the ways they create art from recycled materials.
There are also many special events, including workshops, seminars and evening openings for the shows at the Green Gallery. Turnip Green is open for the Downtown First Saturday Arts Crawl, and is also active at many city green-​oriented events.
Their retail space hours are Tuesday and Thursday from 2:00p.m. — 6:00p.m. and Saturday from noon to 4:00p.m. There are also many special events, including workshops and seminars and art openings. Turnip Green is open for the Downtown First Saturday Arts Crawl, and is also active at many city green-​oriented events.
Because there are so many special events and openings, the best way to find out what is going on at Turnip Green Creative Reuse is to follow them on Facebook.
