SCRAP is looking for a new home!!!
TO THE SCRAP COMMUNITY,
We are thrilled to share that SCRAP is embarking on an exciting journey: we are looking for a new home!
Founded in 1976, SCRAP works at the intersection of the arts, education and the environment. Our mission is to put the materials and methods of art-making in reach for everyone, helping people turn everyday objects into creative projects that fuel the human spirit, support community vibrancy and reinforce environmental awareness.
For the past 25 years, the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) has generously provided us with affordable rent, allowing us to serve the community with accessible and affordable materials. However, with our lease expiring in June 2025, it’s time for us to move forward. Finding a forever home is an incredible opportunity but also presents challenges.
Over the last six months, we have laid the groundwork to face these challenges: defining our real estate and financial parameters and developing key relationships. With your support, we’re confident we can overcome these challenges and secure SCRAP’s future in San Francisco.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
9,000 + sq. ft.
Located in San Francisco
Parking: Dedicated lot, street parking or proximity to public garage
Desirable Features: loading dock, alley for donation drop-off, roll-up doors, high ceilings.
Restrooms for staff and public
Supportive landlord willing to work creatively within our parameters.
