Junk Is In the Eye of the Beholder
Some people hate thrift stores—the battered cast-offs are depressing, the clothes smell funny, the clientele remind you that many people are down on their luck.
While all of those points are valid, I love thrift stores for the possibilities they hold. One thrift store has realized that promise in a beautiful way. The St. Vincent de Paul thrift store in Alameda, California, has turned itself into Redux Studios & Gallery. It employs artists in residence, who can exhibit in the gallery, and it sells arts and crafts made by local artists from what we discard as junk:
Redux also rents studio space at discounted rates for artists working with salvaged materials, and it holds creative reuse workshops for schools and community members.
Yes, the economy's shaky, but Redux proves that people who couple vision with action can create beauty and opportunity anywhere. It's a brilliant example for all of us.
