Founded in 1976 by arts community leader Anne Marie Theilen and celebrated artist and arts education champion, Ruth Asawa. They saw an opportunity to meet the needs of teaching artists while diverting waste, and together they founded SCRAP - Scrounger's Center for Reusable Art Parts– a place where surplus materials could be repurposed for creative use.
