Art Parts has become an invaluable local resource for environmental designÌýstudents, allowing them to manifest, and often discover, their formal intentions for studio projects via inexpensive prototyping. For many students a trip to Art Parts has become a critical part of their design inspiration journey. Art Parts' ethos of upcycling otherwise unused art and craft materials strongly ties in with the program’sÌýgoals towards sustainability and creative reuse.
