ReStore

Who are we? We’re the MassArt ReStore
How Old Are We? We were born in 2009 and still going strong 🙂 
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
The ReStore is an all-volunteer, all-free sustainable store committed to the recycling and reuse of art materials, books, clothing, and anything else you’ve got!
Originally running on a one-for-one swap system, we are now sustained entirely by donations, whether it be from students, faculty, businesses, or the general public. We are also now the proud owners of a fire-safe cabinet, which allows us to safely accept oil paints, spray paints and aerosols! 
We also host an annual exhibition, ReStored, revolving around sustainability and student artwork made with reused/recycled materials.
The ReStore is located in the basement of the Kennedy Building, near the MassArt/MCPHS Bookstore and across from the Commuter Lockers. You can also leave donations in any one of our ReStore bins, located all around campus. 
If you’re interested in volunteering, contact us at restore@massart.edu!

The MassArt Bird Club
The MassArt Bird Club aims to get MassArt students interested in the hobby of birding! Our primary goal is to get others excited about the outdoors and eager to learn about what lives around us. There will be opportunities to go on trips in and around the city, searching for as many different species as we can. Throughout the year we will photograph, document, make art, and meet regularly to share our experiences and learn more about the hobby. We will be educating people about the birds that live in our area and making contributions towards scientific research.

Outdoor Adventure Club
The purpose of OAC is to teach students more about natural environments through hands-on trips and activities. These activities can also act as inspiration for their art practice, a way to connect with new people within the COF, and an active outlet to relieve the stress and anxiety of being a college student in the city.
This semester we’re going on trips to The New England Aquarium, The Arnold Arboretum, Harvard Natural History Museum, and the Blue Hills Reservation.
Meetings are every other Wednesday at 8pm in DMC 110.
Email us if you are interested in joining virtually.

Massart: Action for the Planet (on hiatus at the moment)
MassArt Action For The Planet is a group concerned about climate change, pollution, and the health of the Earth and its inhabitants. Climate change affects communities and wildlife across the globe; the evidence is overwhelming that humans are causing these negative effects. We feel compelled to take action to prevent more destruction being done to our planet.  Through sustainability efforts on the MassArt campus, we hope to reduce our carbon footprint and inspire others to do the same. Using art in a variety of media, we believe we can inform and expose our community to issues that we feel are crucial to our planet’s sustainability.
In 2020/21 academic year, we are dormant, but will start up again in fall 2021 so keep your eye out!
