“We too are visual artists and part of the creative life of NYC. We love materials! And we love reducing the landfill. We are thrilled to know that our cast-off supplies have a second life in the hands of fellow students, elders, artists, designers, dancers, actors, and musicians. Thank you, MFTA!”
