WHAT WE DO
MISSION:
Offroute Art’s primary function is to support artists aged 16-24 by creating and engaging these individuals in an inclusive community that connects their art, energy, and vision with a greater audience. We believe that the power of art combined with youth energy is a force for good in the world. By giving young adults support and belonging, community organically begins to grow and expand. We have envisioned opening a physical location in the form of a nonprofit coffee shop and community space that attracts a broad audience and allows young adults to feel active and empowered within their community. AFFORDABLE ART STORE:
OUR COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT We reuse materials as much as possible. When you make a purchase from from Offroute, it is most likely packaged in reused or donated materials. We hope you can reuse these materials as well, or recycle them.* *Reuse is any activity that lengthens the life of an item. Recycling is the reprocessing of an item into a new raw material. |

THESE GUIDE US IN HOW WE HONOR OUR ARTISTS AND APPROACH THEIR WORK:
"[A]n unexpected result of restorative practices in business has proved to be an enhanced sense of community. In addition to protecting a company’s human capital from the competition, social bonds and improved relationships fostered by restorative practices within an organization create an environment that supports learning and change."
