Materials Memberships
In keeping with our mission to inspire all people to explore and create by engaging our community in art-making experiences with reuse materials, UpCycle offers annual memberships to provide reasonably priced supplies for those who educate and provide art-making experiences for children and adults.
The UpCycle Board of Directors will review the Membership Policy periodically, particularly as any changes in the current pandemic restrictions for not-for-profit organizations are revised. Any questions regarding the membership policy or fees can be sent to UpCycle's Board of Directors.
Effective October 1, 2020, UpCycle will no longer offer Individual, Student, Senior or Family Memberships. We will honor all existing memberships until they expire.
