To Our Global Community
Our mission is to actively engage youth as stewards of their environment through a concentrated, hands-on, educational effort to build a creative culture of sustainability in our schools and community.
Guided by our mission and through our programs, we are committed to working to create a more just, equitable, and sustainable future for people and the planet.
S.C.R.A.P. links industry, education, the arts, and the environment. Its programs feature environmental presentations, exhibits, workshops, and interactive lessons – using reused and recycled materials from the S.C.R.A.P. Gallery Warehouse, directly diverting materials from the landfill.

Ongoing & Upcoming
- Science>Art - S.C.R.A.P. Gallery is pleased to share exciting exhibit news! The integration of art and the environment is a cornerstone of our program. We have acquired a collection of contemporary digital paintings that use art to enhance the public’s understanding of the science of climate change. Created by artist Alisa Singer, Environmental Graphiti (EG) is a series derived from a graph, chart, map, word, or number representing key facts or data about climate change. With more than 100 images, the art has been extensively exhibited in the United States and other parts of the world and has been featured on the covers of three recent major United Nations climate reports.
- GLOBE - Girls Leading One Better Environment - Supporting and promoting quality education for girls on a global front is fundamental in an environment facing the increasing impacts of climate change. A 2017 Brookings report by Christina Kwauk and Amanda Braga, Three Platforms for Girls’ Education in Climate Strategies, “suggests that girls’ education can strengthen climate strategies in three ways: by empowering girls and advancing their reproductive health and rights, fostering girls’ climate leadership and pro-environmental decision-making, and developing girls’ green skills for green jobs.” In that effort, S.C.R.A.P. Gallery is initiating the GLOBE (Girls Leading One Better Environment) Project, which will support green education for girls through scholarships, partnerships, and visual arts. If you are a middle school student or student group looking to get started and get involved, contact us at info@scrapgallery.org. We are ready to go!
- Youth Service America - S.C.R.A.P. Gallery has been designated as a Lead Agency for 2022-23 to participate in service projects including 9/11 Day of Service, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Global Youth Service Day.
- S.C.R.A.P. Exchange - At the S.C.R.A.P Gallery, we maintain a materials and exchange program for local businesses, schools and residents. These donated materials are available for teachers, schools, artists and community groups to reuse for projects.
