Stuff, a new nonprofit organization focused on sustainability and creative reuse, will be participating in several Northside events this spring, including:

STUFF at the Lewis Ginter Children’s Garden Spring Fling on Sunday, April 26, from 1:00 until 4:00 p.m. In collaboration with the Children’s Garden, STUFF will lead “Growing Recycled Sculpture” project for visitors to the Garden, using donated materials to create small works of recycled art that will be added to the fence along the Children’s Garden.
STUFF at the Richmond Veggie Festival in Bryan Park on Saturday, June 20. STUFF will lead a creative reuse activity and host an information table.
STUFF presents Good Green Fun at Lewis Ginter every fourth Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m (April through October).

The story of Stuff began in May 2008 when Sarah, Liz, and Diana met to talk about local sustainability efforts in Richmond. The group pulled together a diverse team of educaters, artists, business owners, and non profit employees to dream green and the idea for a creative reuse space based in central Virginia was born. Inspired and based on a similar model, The Scrap Exchange in Durham, NC the Stuff founders hosted a series of informal meetings bringing together community members with an interest in the environment, children, arts, and reuse. As the idea turned into a reality, the Stuff founders and committed volunteers worked vigorously over the summer of ‘08 to create a business plan and vision cast with local artists and educators for innovative and creative programming.
