Questions About the Art Supply Exchange What is Regina's Art Supply Exchange?

Regina's Art Supply Exchange (RASE) is a nonprofit organization running a shop of affordable secondhand art materials for artists of all ages and practices. From amateurs to professionals and from educators to students, we serve all levels of working artists and arts educators. RASE was started in Regina, Saskatchewan to act as a meeting point for various members in the arts community to (re)distribute reusable art materials. The shop is modeled after Creative Reuse Centres (CRC's) from across North America.

What is a Creative Reuse Centre?

CRC's are dedicated to the redistribution of secondhand art materials. Much like a thrift store, items are collected, sorted, and available for purchase, however, CRC's collect specific items with artists and creatives in mind. CRC's are perfect places for creative individuals, non-profit organizations, and schools on a tight budget to find low cost materials. They also provide environmentally friendly options for community members to donate underused art materials to support creative work happening in their city.

Who runs Regina's Art Supply Exchange?

RASE is volunteer run to ensure supplies can be provided for the lowest possible price. Below is a list of important figures/organizations:


Where is Regina's Art Supply Exchange?

We were most recently located at 1761 Wallace Street, however we are currently without a storefront due to a move. 

When is Regina's Art Supply Exchange Shop open for shopping?

We are currently PAUSED from August 30 - November 1 due to a move. As a reminder we are completely volunteer run and people get sick or emergencies happen. Our open days will be posted on our homepage, Facebook, and Instagram. Our Events page will have any events outside of regular operational hours.

When and where can I donate supplies to the Shop?

Supplies can only be dropped off during any operational hours which are currently paused due to a move. Please check our List of Accepted Items before dropping off any donations, as we are not like other secondhand stores and there are many items we do NOT accept for donation.
