ArtStart a/k/a ArtScraps is an innovative concept that combines reclaiming useable materials that would otherwise end up in landfills with art making and upcycling! In a unique partnership with businesses and manufacturers, ArtScraps collects scraps, overstock, factory rejects, and other items normally destined for the landfill. ArtScraps makes these products available to teachers, parents, artists, scout leaders, day care providers – anyone working with children or interested in reducing waste through reuse of discarded materials.

Annual Events hosted by ArtStart

Each spring, the organization works with the St. Paul Civic Symphony to put on a Family Concert in April and host the EcoArts Fair. This fair has historically been held at Harriet Island in May, but in 2018 it moved to its new location – The Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge in June. The event wasn’t held in 2022 or 2023. We are hoping for a return in 2024.
