Sat 12/3 @ 10AM-2PM
Upcycle Parts Shop, that little storefront on St. Clair, adjacent to the Slovenian National Home that sells recycled materials for artist use, is undergoing a transformation for the holidays. It’s closed through Thu 12/1 and reopens on Fri 12/2 as Collective Upcycle, a seasonal boutique selling finished gift items made by local artisans from the sort of re-used materials Upcycle Parts sells. It was the Collective Upcycle pop-up boutiques put together by founder Nicole McGee that launched Upcycle Parts in the first place so the store is getting back to its roots.
The next day, Sat 12/3, Collective Upcycle will have a Grand Opening Party from 10am-2pm. If you want to make your own gifts, they’ll still have a section of upcycled materials. They’ll be open Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays @ noon-7pm and Saturdays 10am-2pm through Fri 12/23.
