Overview

The RE Store has been showcasing art and design work created from reclaimed and salvaged materials for over a decade. We are honored to partner with galleries, educational and non-profit organizations and creatives from throughout the Pacific Northwest. Come be inspired and participate in our 11th Annual Show in April of 2012.

• Galleries of art and functional design items
  
  • The Seattle galleries will be located at Blowing Sands Glass Studio in Ballard. 
  • Bellingham galleries will be located at Allied Arts and The RE Store. 
• Workshop for Recycled Art junk sculpture all month at the Whatcom Museum's Family Interactive Gallery (F.I.G.)

The RE Store's Trash Fashion Show will not be taking place in 2012, due to budgetary constraints, but it sure was fun for all those years! See photos of past Trash Fashion Shows here: 2011 Trash Fashion Show and 2006-2010 Trash Fashion Shows

Litter Becomes Art - April 1st in Bellingham, April 7th in Seattle

Kuros Zahedi will be joining us again, in partnership with the North Sound Bay Keeper for the Bellingham clean-up.
