WHAT IS THE S.C.R.A.P. GALLERY?
S.C.R.A.P. Gallery is an environmental art museum and mobile education program inspiring young people across the Coachella Valley to see possibility in what others throw away. For more than 30 years, S.C.R.A.P. Gallery has kept discarded materials out of landfills and transformed them into resources for creativity, education and discovery.
Through traveling arts education programs, we reach children in every city across the Coachella Valley, bringing hands-on learning directly into their communities. Through art, science and partnerships with local organizations, students explore important environmental and community issues while learning to become creative stewards of their environment, guided by four simple ideas: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Responsibility.

THE Gallery & Studio:
Our Cathedral City Gallery, Studio & Warehouse is a place for creativity, learning and reuse. Here, we collect donated materials from local businesses and the community keeping useful resources out of landfills and putting them into the hands of students, artists and educators.
As the Coachella Valley’s only children’s art and environmental conservation museum, the Gallery gives young people a place to create with discarded materials while exploring art, science, culture and complex environmental issues. Permanent and rotating exhibits feature the work of renowned artists alongside S.C.R.A.P. Gallery youth, with hands-on workshops and field trips welcoming K–12 students throughout the year.
Through it all, the Gallery serves as a creative resource for students, teachers, artists and the community, turning what might have been thrown away into opportunities to learn, make and discover.
