Realize, Provide, Enhance

Materials for the Arts is New York’s premiere reuse center, providing a way for companies and individuals to donate unneeded supplies to thousands of nonprofit organizations with arts programming and public schools. We offer a wide variety of events, workshops, and classes to help people see and experience creative reuse up close.

Our Gallery presents artwork made with materials and objects that can be found in our warehouse, as well as other salvaged or found materials. Our current exhibition is artist-in-residence Ben Pederson’s Long Forgotten Song. Our gallery is open weekdays from 10 am – 4 pm. Admission is free.  

Check our calendar for all of our upcoming events.
