Creating Beauty from the Forgotten
At Reclaimed Collective, we are passionate advocates for the art of rejuvenation. We believe in the transformative power of reclaimed materials and their ability to create beauty from the discarded and forgotten. Our mission is to provide a platform for artists who share our commitment to breathing new life into old materials, challenging the prevailing culture of mass production, and addressing the pressing issue of waste.
We are not only a marketplace for unique, eco-conscious creations but also a community where artists and art enthusiasts unite in the pursuit of a more sustainable, expressive, and imaginative world. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a newcomer to the world of reclaimed art, we invite you to join us in celebrating the fusion of artistry and sustainability.
Our Story
Reclaimed Collective was born from the unwavering vision of our founder, Erma Swartz. As a lifelong activist in the battle against Climate Change, she was driven to make a meaningful impact on the world without compromising her core values.
Frustrated with the relentless pace of modern consumption and production, Erma sought a way to rekindle the world's spirit while safeguarding the environment. This quest led her to create a haven for artists of all backgrounds and disciplines.
Reclaimed Collective is more than just a marketplace; it's a vibrant, collaborative space where artists can thrive, earning a fair wage while crafting unique treasures that defy the wastefulness of mass production. Here, art is a force for change, illuminating a path towards a brighter, more sustainable future. Join us in our journey to re-imagine art, sustainability, and the possibilities of a world united by creativity and conscience.
