It Takes A Reef
Against The Current Exhibit
Coral reefs are one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet and are home to 25 percent of all marine life.
Amidst the beauty and wonder, coral reefs around the world are threatened. The biggest threat is us - through human induced climate change and pollution. We can change things. We can do something. Come and see our exhibit, “Against The Current.” Come see why coral reefs matter.
This exhibit features work by artists from around the world and a reef created by youth from California and Hawaii, made entirely with reused and recycled materials.
This exhibit runs through February 2018.
Bursting At The Seams
Our new exhibit examines the impact of fast fashion and textile waste on our environment. Featuring work by artists from around the United States and local students, take a visual textile tour. It's real - what you wear, can change the world.

In today's The Desert Sun!
What a shame that the County of Riverside is displacing us after 17 years for the sake of one butterfly exhibit during the Riverside County Fair in February? Forcing us to move is denying hundreds of kids the chance to create art about the environment and learn recycling for our planet EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR. We're looking for a new home if anyone has ideas or space! Thank you! http://www.desertsun.com/…/04/scrap-gallery-new-h…/29726149/

Desert Sun Article "Valley Voice: S.C.R.A.P. Gallery needs aid finding home"
"After bringing purpose to an abandoned hangar in Indio for the past 18 years, adjacent to the Riverside County Fair Grounds, the S.C.R.A.P. Gallery (Student Creative Recycled Art Project) has been handed its walking papers. The organization must now secure a replacement facility suitable for its expansive exhibits that engage and involve hundreds of local kids and families..."
