This place is a total gem. Huge variety of craft specialties to browse through, great for beginners and long-time creatives alike. The staff is excellent. I especially love knowing that I'm shopping in a store that values inclusivity, equality, and diversity.

The Best: Thank you to All Diligent Caring 757 Creative Reuse Center Staff in Norfolk, VA!
Using their Art Center next door is truly a pleasure! Wow!

Thank you so much for your visit! We'll see you again soon!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GO HERE, it's like a thrift store but for used crafts! I was amazed at the rubber stamps they have for sale. They also have knitting, crocheting, painting, embroidery, extra paper, and other gently used supplies to view. I could spend hours going through all the rubber stamps on the floor, and the cashier told me they have so much more in the back. It's an awesome store and amazing employees who were super helpful! I can't wait to go back and literally spend hundreds on the rubber stamps hahaha.

Such an amazing store with a great purpose and amazing staff!
I’ve taken my kids in there multiple times and they’ve been treated so well and kindly by everyone. I’m new…like very new…to crafting and crocheting and each time I’ve gone in for help the customer service has been excellent!
Im so grateful to patronize a store I know stands for human decency, kindness, love, inclusion, and diversity. They say it proudly and I can guarantee yall have a customer for life 🫶🏽

A great place to shop! Super friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere :)

This place is a wonderful gem. They take donations and sell art supplies (and tons of other sorts of things) at a fraction of retail. I never leave empty handed and recently signed up for a membership so I can take advantage of the classes and other social events (and the discount!). They have knitting patterns, yarn, model paint, beads, Cricht machines, storage options, books, sewing supplies, and so so much more. I am thankful for the ReUse center.

Great shop for creative people, art and craft supplies at thrift store prices, stock is very well organized and displayed

Great place that welcomes ALL. great staff, a wide variety of wares, and cool classes.

Love this place! Art is how I lean into joy and this place makes art feel approachable and communal, which in turn makes self expression and connecting more accessible. Keep creating and supporting your DEI community ReUse Center =)

757 Creative Reuse Center is a local treasure. I appreciate that they are keeping usable materials out of landfills and making sustainable creativity more accessible for everyone. I also love that they support important social causes and create a welcoming, inclusive space. Definitely worth checking out!

The best place to buy art supplies in the 757. One of the best places to shop in Norfolk, period. 10/10. Nicest staff as well. The world needs more stores like this.

Incredible space full of ever-changing treasures and supplies. Warm and welcoming with a loving mission to help the community and the planet!!

This is a great place and they always have whatever you need, but most importantly they have cool stuff you did not know was available. The staff is kind and helpful.

This place is amazing! They have everything I could ever want, as a paper craft person I feel in paradise here. The staff are friendly and supportive of all my crafting endeavors. This is the place I recommend people who are looking to get their creativity flowing!

LGBTQIA+ friendly! This place is welcoming and has wonderful crafts supplies! I always felt guilty trying to get rid of yarn I had received but didn’t use, but this lovely establishment has provided a space where I can give another crafter the opportunity to love the yarn better than I did! Everyone is super helpful and EVERYONE is welcome. I can always count on the store to have an interesting bit or bob and always willing to help.

The staff are friendly and endlessly patient. I had so many questions and they answered every one of them. This place has immaculate cozy vibes. Can't wait to go back with my friends and family for some crafting!!

I love visiting here. I never know what I'm going to find, the staff is super welcoming and I just really appreciate this space.

I've only had amazing experiences here. I try not to go in looking for a specific item but rather let the store tell me what I want or need. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. I'm autistic and appreciate the organizational system. This is all around a gem to the Hampton Roads area.

Wonderful place with an amazing mission. Reuse materials and create art!

Amazing place for thrifted art supplies and classes! The people here are also so welcoming and helpful with any questions.

I love this place!! I've been a regular customer for years and have loved seeing it grow and expand. It has saved hundreds of thousands of pounds of art supplies from being buried in landfills, no exaggeration! It's a nonprofit art supply thrift store with an inclusive mindset where all are welcome in the heart of downtown, and I try to get all my art supplies from them before ever hitting the big box stores or online retailers. It's beautifully organized and never feels cluttered, and I see/find treasures whenever I go! They also offer art classes at all levels and extremely low costs! Plus you can spend a whole day using their dedicated art room AND supplies for just $5! Big box stores could never! Support and shop local!

Such a fun place, everything is super affordable, and the workers are nothing but delightful. Can't wait to shop again 😊

I also want to say that they seem to treat their workers great, and they support so many important (and often local!) organizations and artists. They truly make such a welcoming space for everyone to exist in- and their clothing swap is so nice and heart-warming. They really seem to care about the local community

I really enjoy the classes they offer- from sewing to journaling to quilting and everything in between. Such a great asset to our community!

Amazing place, friendly staff, wonderful owners! Makes me feel welcome and glad to have this as part of our community!

I adore the 757 ReUse Center!
Fantastic prices and amazing and friendly staff.

I always find some really interesting gems when I'm there. I love how welcoming and accepting the environment is and I find it rather telling when others have a problem with the messages of hope, love, and acceptance this place exudes.

One of the best craft places in the state!

great community - focused reuse store. kind and generous people. a safe space

Absolutely love this place they support so many important local non-profit organizations, and always have the best cheap crafts absolutely love them!

The 757 Creative ReUse Center is a Norfolk gem. The store is well stocked and organized with all sorts of arts and crafts odds, ends and bits. The dressing room vendor booths are unique and fun to browse and find gifts for my loved ones. The adjacent art room is AMAZING. But the staff and volunteers are what makes this store the best. The Best. They are the heart in the art. I appreciate that they unapologeticly center humanity in their mission❤️💛💚💙💜

Creative ReUse Center is a hub of creativity, community, and collaboration. It is a magnet of our areas greatest innovators, giving cast off art supplies and tools new uses to inspired minds. The CRC a space for everyone.

It's like habitat for humanity, but for crafting huge selection very well organized into categories.

This is such a great idea. I'm not sure why I haven't seen something like it before and I do have craft supplies that I was looking to find a home for. Clearly I have found it

Next door they also have a classroom/ you can pay a flat fee and just work on your own projects in there

Definitely worth checking out

Creative Reuse is in the mall in downtown Norfolk. It is an incredible asset to the Norfolk community and should be more wildly recognized. They provide donated craft supplies at very discounted rates, making the cost to start a new hobby or project significantly more accessible. All these supplies are being put to good use instead of ending up in our landfills.

Check out the classes and art room, accessible to all ages!

Love this place and the classes I took. I will be taking more. I deffinatly recommend it.

It is a wonderful place! With many treasures. I love that there is so many things for many crafts. I love that you can donate things too. Just make sure they are clean and still usable. There are some hidden treasures in there too. Overall I loved being there. I love that they off classes as well. I hope to try them one day.

Excellent selection, prices are competitive with similar type stores. Fun hunting for all your arts and crafts supplies.

What an awesome place! If you’re a bargain crafter who likes to repurpose and help conserve the environment, this is a great place to check out! It reminds me of a thrift store for crafts. They offer classes to learn new crafts as well-which is how I ended up there. Jude taught a beginner level embroidery class. So happy to have stumbled upon this gem!

This is basically a thrift store for crafts! The staff and volunteers are aware of products and location when asked. They're always helpful and happy to be at work. All of that shows in the excellent customer service you get here!

everyone should come here!! some of the most unique fabric and fabric scraps ever at a cheap price. lots of good grandmacore type stuff. (nowadays they call it "cottage core")

I am obsessed! As a chronic hyperfixator of hobbies, this place will save me so much money and I won’t feel bad buying brand new! They have GREAT and I mean GREAT quality items for really cheap. Definitely check them out before you go to hobby lobby of Joanns

There is a plethora of different gently used and sometimes brand new craft items for very reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit if you don’t mind looking around a bit!

If you haven't been here and you love to craft...what are you waiting for? You can not beat the prices. The selection is always changing, and the staff is super awesome. Go check them out. You won't be disappointed.

Always a fun adventure to visit the ReUse Center! Love the seasonal display and always find something unexpected but appreciated. The new little indie closets for crafty makers at the back are a brilliant addition to an already great store.

This place is the BEST! They have tons of materials from fabric and notions to scrapbook materials. There are also a ton of embroidery and yarn items. I love coming here to see what new things have been donated. They also have clear donation rules . It's so nice to have a place to give my crafting materials that I know I won't use. Overall I am so glad my community has this Creative Reuse Center

In case you were wondering if this place could get better, it just did. The store is massive and their selection has only increased and gotten more organized. Second floor near lush/Sephora. Just a wonderful place for a crafty person to spend a day! Looks like they'll have classes soon too!

Such a vibrant space and friendly staff.  I love having a eco-friendly and affordable place to buy my craft, office and art supplies.  I always leave with new treasures and a lot of inspiration for my next creative work. The quality of what they offer is great and I often find vintage and rare supplies.

Definitely a place I would frequent more if I lived closer, but I still recommend making a trip if you have creative kids, are creative yourself, or you're a teacher. The customer service never fails to impress, and though the store is smaller in size, there is a lot to look through. It's a great place for yarn, fabric, ribbon, and stamps, but you can always find stuff for scrapbooking, recycled small paint bottles and canvases, recycled crayons and markers, etc. The list goes on and on. I personally went for stuff to help me announce the gender of my baby, and with a little digging, I found what I went there for. I hope this place stays in business forever.

Love this place. Tons of yarn and fabric + tools and accessories, plenty of stationery and art supplies, bead crafts, casting, resin, etc, plus a few more unique things like block print, screen print, photography, and matting/framing related items.
Inventory changes constantly so it's nice to visit once in a while. Awesome staff, very helpful and knowledgeable. Feels good to shop local!

Absolutely fantastic! The ladies working were really nice and they had a large variety of different craftable items and great deals! Absolutely going back!

The employees were really friendly and helpful. Definitely will be coming again.

I was made to feel very unwelcome. The employee followed me around the store, as if I was a thief. I think it was racially motivated.

I was quite disappointed with my visit to this store. At first I was extremely excited about this creative reuse store, and even inside the store there was lots to look through. I find it so disappointing that they could not keep this simply an art store but instead they are making the focus on pushing an insane agenda. There are quite disturbing signs in the front of the store right at children’s eye level (definitely not a coincidence). Will not be spending my money here.
