Join us for some creative family time!

We offer hands-on recycle art workshops for kids on the first Saturday of each month. Drop in any time between 11am - 3pm. All materials are included for each workshop. We ask for a $3-$6 sliding scale donation per child. Each month features a different creative reuse project.

You can also come by during any open hours for uninstructed creative play time. Just browse our many arts and crafts reference books and then, for a donation, you can use the studio and materials on hand at MECCA to to create recycled arts and crafts. So if you're looking for something fun to do with the kids this summer, come on over to MECCA!
