    Do you have thrifty art related knick knacks or used ribbon you're willing to donate? Perhaps, it's time for a creative project and you're in need of supplies. Within city walls, along Main Street, lies a hub of quirky and local. A personal best-loved is Indigo Hippo, a 501-(c)(3) nonprofit. Located in the heart of Over the Rhine, it acts as a Creative Reuse Center (think art supply thrift store); with pay-what-you-can pricing. Through exceptional volunteers your he(art)s needs shall be met!

    Omg how I love this concept and shop! I'd been here once years ago when they were down the street, and loved it then and even in thos smaller spot, I love it now. It's a non-profit that has all kinds of art supplies and oddities with a unique pricing structure. They put a tiny colored sticker on items to indicate a "range" of suggested pricing and then when you check out, you put together a total using the range guide. That part feels a little weird but probably just because it's so unusual. It's especially great for artists and kids- like the substitute for a jar of buttons and beads that I'd get every summer as entertainment. Every city should have one of these. Artists are notoriously strapped for cash, yet art supplies are notoriously expensive, so this is a great place to help those who want to create but don't have the hugest budget. Wish we had one in Indy. Especially great for mixed media artists and you never know what you might find here!

    This is a great little gem downtown that I do not know how I've never been to before! The store is full of good condition craft supplies on a pay what you can basis. Craft supplies are EXPENSIVE this make them so much more affordable and makes doing art accessible for all. Highly recommend if you have an artsy side or just want to add some creativity to your life!

    I've been wanting to visit this store. There's such an amazing selection. Most everything is donated and they offer tax donation documentation. Everything was in excellent shape.

    Everything a Crafter/DIYer needs!!!

    See all

    Love the concept of this place! Saves a bit of waste and money by making one artist's trash another artist's treasure.
