Coming Soon…a new creative space in Middletown

Written By Brianna .

Hi everyone! Brianna and Kate here! We’re so excited to introduce our creative reuse store based in Middletown, CT: Revive Art & Craft Supply.

The idea is simple: rescue all the art and craft supplies gathering dust on shelves, in attics, closets, and garages—and offer them back to the creative community for DIY projects, art masterpieces, cosplay, classroom use, and more. This system keeps quality materials out of landfills and puts them into the hands of artists, dreamers, and makers for a second life. A revival, if you will. 😉

🎨 Why Middletown?

We picked Middletown as the home for Revive because of its vibrant art scene, creative spirit, and strong sense of community. We love the variety of  galleries, libraries, theaters, schools, and local shops.

Our goal? To be more than just an art and craft thrift store. We want Revive to be a third space—a cozy, welcoming hub where people come not only to peruse for supplies, but to connect, share ideas, and feel inspired.

✂️ How Donations Work

Got a stash you’re ready to part with? We’ll take it!

We accept donations of gently-used or unused art and craft supplies including:

  • Fabric, yarn, thread, and sewing notions

  • Drawing and painting supplies

  • Craft tools and kits

  • Beads, paper, buttons, ribbon, and more (visit our donation page for a bigger list, and if you have any questions about whether something is acceptable for donation, reach out to us!)

👉 Drop off during store hours or contact us to schedule a donation appointment.
 We’ll clean, sort, and lovingly display your donated items so they’re ready for their next creative adventure
