Our Story
ReFuse, Inc is a non profit organization that designs artistic futures for raw materials to serve as a conduit between art supplies, up/re cycling, and hands on education to artists, teachers and all ages of individuals and families in the community.
ReFuse, Inc's mission is to expand the ability of reclaimed materials to supply arts education and materials to more teachers, artists and students in the Oklahoma City community with public outreaches for more accessiblity to the community's afterschool and after work schedules.
Creative reuse of materials headed to landfills or cluttering up storage spaces as learning tools assists teachers filling the gap of lessening arts budgets while helping make links in the communication of individuals and organizations who are working in the arts and sustainability.
ReFuse works to help OKC teachers have to pay less out of pocket for classroom supplies.
Hosts outreaches where local children that had never been able to experience the problem solving and creative outlets of art now have continued access to paints, glue, clay, fiber arts, costumes, and projectors…
Because of the resource reclamation center ReFuse, Inc operationalizes waste products like plastics and styrofoams and cardboard that end up in landfills and pollute our state. Now they are instead being imagined as sustainable creations that inspire people to use less, waste less, share and be mindful of where it all goes.
ReFuse, Inc is serving an integral role in building out the infrastructure necessary to make sustainable arts culture accessible to every person in the community regardless of their socioeconomic status.
