757 Creative ReUse Center — Attraction in Norfolk

I love this place!! I've been a regular customer for years and have loved seeing it grow and expand. It has saved hundreds of thousands of pounds of art supplies from being buried in landfills, no exaggeration! It's a nonprofit art supply thrift store with an inclusive mindset where all are welcome in the heart of downtown, and I try to get all my art supplies from them before ever hitting the big box stores or online retailers. It's beautifully organized and never feels cluttered, and I see/find treasures whenever I go! They also offer art classes at all levels and extremely low costs! Plus you can spend a whole day using their dedicated art room AND supplies for just $5! Big box stores could never! Support...

Definitely a place I would frequent more if I lived closer, but I still recommend making a trip if you have creative kids, are creative yourself, or you're a teacher. The customer service never fails to impress, and though the store is smaller in size, there is a lot to look through. It's a great place for yarn, fabric, ribbon, and stamps, but you can always find stuff for scrapbooking, recycled small paint bottles and canvases, recycled crayons and markers, etc. The list goes on and on. I personally went for stuff to help me announce the gender of my baby, and with a little digging, I found what I went there for. I hope this place stays in...

Awesome place for anyone even a little bit artsy - they even have a good selection for smaller art/craft niches such as scrapbooking and beading. I won't be going anywhere else for yarn or knitting supplies ever again - HUGE selection of yarns from acrylic to alpaca, and all the needles you could ever dream of. The volunteers working were clearly happy to be there and very enthusiastic about the store and its mission to give back to the community. I thought it was notable that they take donations of broken jewelry and mismatched earrings, things that are typically tossed in the trash, and give them a new life. Very neat...
