Creative Reuse Montana

We source, organize, and distribute creative supplies to community members and organizations that need them via outreach, community partnerships, and events.

Our Mission

Connecting our community of artists, teachers, hobbyists, and makers by giving new life to unused creative supplies. Through swaps, a community shop, and events, we model abundance, sustainability, and creativity while keeping materials out of landfills.

Our Vision

A thriving Montana hub where creativity, reuse, and connection fuel resilience. By celebrating abundance and sharing supplies, we imagine a state where every community has access to affordable, inspiring materials and a place to gather.

Our Pillars

💗 Abundance Exists

What we need already exists; there's enough to share. 

🧑‍🎨 Creative Community

Connection, creativity, and joy flourish when we gather, share, and inspire each other.

♻️ Reuse as Resilience and Reciprocity  

Creative reuse of shared materials strengthens our community and supports sustainability.

Our Programs

💖 Craft Supply Swap, a gift to our community

We organize free swaps to connect our community of artists, crafters, and makers with unused supplies and with each other. All supplies are free. Give A Hoot donations directly support this program.

🎨 Art & Education Supplies, creative supplies for local programs

We source supplies for teachers, youth programs, senior centers, memory care, and other groups based on each program’s wishlist. Give A Hoot donations directly support this program.

🧵 Community Shop, secondhand arts & crafts supplies + community-led workshops

We support individual creativity year-round through our convenient retail shop in downtown Livingston. We make it easy to donate unused supplies and to start or finish a project – on your own or with someone! We host frequent workshops and social gatherings to cultivate broader community connection.
