Empowering Creativity Through Sustainability

Artventory is a youth-led nonprofit dedicated to making art accessible, equitable, and sustainable by redistributing surplus art and school supplies directly to underserved communities. Through pop-up booths, partnerships, and creative engagement, we empower young people to tell their stories, build confidence, and use art as a tool for self-advocacy and social change.

Our Mission
Our Vision

We envision a future where creativity is not a privilege but a universal right, where everyone has the tools to express themselves, strengthen their education, and connect with their culture. By building a living “inventory” of community-shared resources, Artventory strives to transform waste into opportunity and ensure that each voice has a way to express themselves.

A modernist building featuring a large, grid-like glass façade and a stone wall in front. Two bicyclists are riding along the street below, creating a sense of motion and daily life amidst the urban architecture. A blue rectangular road sign with directional arrows is hanging nearby, adding to the cityscape aesthetic.
