Empowering Creativity Through Sustainability

The Artventory is a youth-led nonprofit based in the Greater Seattle region, dedicated to increasing accessibility to art by collecting and redistributing unused art, craft, and dance supplies. We expand our mission by providing accessible dance and art classes to our community. By connecting studios, schools, and communities across the area through an inventory of materials, we make the arts more equitable and sustainable for everyone.

Our Mission
Our Vision

We envision a future where creativity is not a privilege but a universal right, where everyone has the tools to express themselves, strengthen their education, and connect with their culture. By building a living “inventory” of community-shared resources, Artventory strives to transform waste into opportunity and ensure that each voice has a way to express themselves.

A modernist building featuring a large, grid-like glass façade and a stone wall in front. Two bicyclists are riding along the street below, creating a sense of motion and daily life amidst the urban architecture. A blue rectangular road sign with directional arrows is hanging nearby, adding to the cityscape aesthetic.
