The Things Lab aims to keep things out of the landfill and accessible to everyone! We are an artist-led socially-engaged participatory project and start-up non-profit created by Susan Caraballo & Kerry Phillips.
The Things Lab emphasizes creativity as a resource for resiliency and adaptability centering on three complementary aspects: the collaborative, ever-changing immersive art installation/reuse center where one determines the pricing, paying what they value items to be worth within their budget; a lending library of things that meaningfully benefits the neighboring communities; and a series of arts & community workshops and events that serve as a meeting place connecting creativity, sustainability, memory, shared knowledge and compassion.
