ecycling has never<br />
looked so artsy<br />
The Art Institute of Michigan faculty and staff were more than excited last spring when the school partnered with an<br />
amazing nonprofit, Arts & Scraps, which is located within the city of Detroit.<br />
Arts & Scraps’ focus is using recycled industrial materials to help people of all ages and abilities to think, create and<br />
learn – attributes closely related to The Art Institute of Michigan’s mission. Arts & Scraps was founded in 1989, and<br />
since then, the organization has served over 2 million children and has recycled close to 28 tons of material.<br />
Teachers, students and parents go to Arts & Scraps to collect materials for classroom projects or home projects, or just<br />
to get creative ideas flowing.<br />
“Arts & Scraps is a gem in this particular Detroit neighborhood,” said<br />
Karen Zuliani, human resources manager at The Art Institute of<br />
Michigan. “What could be better than helping an organization that<br />
brings art into the lives of those that normally wouldn’t have access<br />
to it?”<br />
The Art Institute of Michigan hosted a variety of donation activities<br />
to purchase items on Arts & Scraps’ wish list: a digital camera,<br />
memory card and a cross-cut paper shredder. The school also<br />
collected recyclable materials to donate – everything from buttons<br />
and yarn, to bottle corks and baby food jars.<br />
The Art Institute of Michigan appreciates the artistic outreach and<br />
good work that Arts & Scraps conducts with greater Detroit youths.<br />
After all, what would life be like without art?
