Support the arts across New York City. Whether you're a business or an individual, donating materials is easy.
Receive from MFTA
Each year, MFTA provides millions of dollars of supplies and inspiration to New York City's artistic and educational communities.
Sustainability for the arts and the environment
Materials for the Arts is New York City's premier creative reuse center, which provides NYC arts nonprofits, public schools and City agencies with access to free materials. We strive to keep these valuable items from entering the landfill and put them into the hands of arts professionals, educators, and students across the five boroughs.
Better than new - it's renewed. MFTA gives unwanted items the opportunity to become something new through creative reuse, inspired education and unlimited imagination.
