Nowhere Projects
Our team is made of innovative makers, creative problem-solvers and inspiring tinkerers. Through our own artistic projects and initiatives, we invite our Chicago community to play, experiment and change minds.
Material Collection
One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. Only if it gets into the right hands. We collect unwanted, discarded stuff and get it into the hands of makers to transform it into awesome things that you will love…again.
Trashy Makers & Events
Our mission is to spotlight the creativity of skilled artisans who enjoy the challenge of repurposing trash. We love finding different formats and venues to feature their stories, including in-person Markets and written content.
