"When customers approach William Barros’ cash register and ask how much they’ll
have to pay for one sheet of paper or a single pencil, he lets out a long
exhale.
“I don’t know. A penny?” Barros said. “Show me a handful, and I’ll give you a
price.”
That’s the prevailing ethos at SCRAP, the 47-year-old art supply nonprofit in
San Francisco where Barros works as the depot manager. A thrift store, art
school and recycling center rolled into one, SCRAP’s Bayview warehouse is the
hub for a wider arts program — the nonprofit runs workshops, sends supplies to
after-school programs and teaches fashion design. It also sells tons and tons
of donated art gear, for
cheap."
Via Doug Senko, who wrote "This place sounds like paradise for the creative
types."
