About ArtCycle

We believe every forgotten item has a story waiting to be told and a purpose waiting to be discovered

Our Story

ArtCycle was born from a simple observation: every day, countless beautiful and functional items are discarded, not because they're broken beyond repair, but because they're no longer wanted or needed in their current form.

Founded in 2020 by a group of artists and environmental advocates, we started with a mission to bridge the gap between waste and creativity. What began as a small community workshop has grown into a thriving platform that connects talented artists with people who have items ready for transformation.

We believe that sustainability doesn't have to mean sacrifice. Instead, it can mean discovery, creativity, and the joy of seeing something old become something unexpectedly beautiful and functional again.

Today, ArtCycle is more than just a marketplace – we're a community of creators, dreamers, and environmental stewards working together to reduce waste while celebrating the artistry that can emerge from the most unexpected places.
