ABOUT US
The Community Art Box is to inspire and impact those in a Community with Art & Interaction enhancing Civic Engagement. C.A.B is to bring a sense of neighborhood belonging by providing free, creative "make and take" experiences for everyone.

How The Box BASICALY WORKS
The Box is loaded Once a Week with some donated art supplies for anyone to take.
The Box has a display section for Artists and Creators to place some of their work to share for free with anyone who choses to take it.
Artists can share their story of the art they left behind with the website and on our social media to Share their story.
Origin Story of the community art box in front of ReMarket
The make and take newsstand started as an idea by Zach Scheffler. He originally placed
it outside the passport agency, hoping to surprise passersby with a sudden burst of
inspiration. Unfortunately, the location lacked the right kind of foot traffic. The box sat
mostly unnoticed, its creative potential waiting to be unlocked.
ReMarket had been actively searching for an old, repurposed newsstand box. When they
heard about the one in front of the passport agency, they approached Zach with a
proposal. The box needed an environment that already celebrated creativity and
community. ReMarket offered to move the box, take full responsibility for its upkeep,
and adopt it as ReMarket’s own.
