A crafty home for community support and healing
Berea ReCreates offers arts and craft supplies, and a place for reinvention
BEREA—A crafty nonprofit opened today on Chestnut Street.
Berea ReCreates is a community art space providing affordable, reusable, and remnant materials for various arts, crafts, and musical projects.
The goal, according to founder Charlenea Kay Wirth, is to use affordable craft materials to help "foster a supportive community sanctuary that fosters individual healing, artistic expression, environmental sustainability, and positive mental health."
The grand opening was today. Berea ReCreates is located at 406 Chestnut Street and will be open today through 5pm, and Thursday through Saturday, from 10 am to 5 pm. For more information, visit the nonprofit's Facebook page.
