After the workshop was over, my hosts took on a tour of Free Geek, a truly unique nonprofit organization in Portland. The space reminded of the many artist-run spaces and community centers I've visited when I worked with the New York Foundation of the Arts. If you ever get to Portland, you must visit.

Cary Creative Center in North Carolina is an upcycling nonprofit that provides used artistic materials to people. As a reuse organization, its motto is "make art, not waste." Cary Creative Center has an art materials reuse store where people in the community can buy pretty much anything an arts teacher might want.
