Where is Creative Chaos Emporium located?
From late January - September 2026, we’re partnering with Project Pop-Up to host a brick & mortar storefront at :
239 North Avenue, Wakefield, MA 01880
We’re hoping to extend through December (not yet confirmed)! After that, if we’re able to make it work financially, we’d love to stay on as a permanent shop. Stay tuned!
Donate arts & crafts supplies!
People (especially people who like to make things!) often have so much STUFF. It can be hard to find a place to donate arts & crafts supplies, so these much-loved items sometimes end up in the trash.
Creative Chaos Emporium accepts donations of clean, usable arts & crafts supplies. It’s our goal to find new homes for them & keep them out of the waste stream while providing affordable, accessible art supplies to our community.
