Our Mission

At ArtCycle Foundation, we strive to bridge the gap between businesses with excess materials and organizations in need of art supplies. Through our platform, businesses can donate materials like fabric, notions, tiles, paper, and paints to support art programs in schools and non-profits.

About Us

ArtCycle is a non-profit organization. The initiative was started by an environmentally-conscious high school art student, who realized that two social issues could be addressed by coordinating local businesses with underfunded art programs. 

  • According to a report by Americans for the Arts, 50% of schools reported having a budget of $0 to support arts education, and 79% reported spending less than $1 per student per year.

  • The US interior design industry generates more than 10.5 million tons of waste each year.

  • The fashion industry produced a startling 97 million tons of waste annually of which 18 million were leftover textiles.

  • Each year 92 million tons of clothing materials are discarded.
