The Cameron Gallery

Since our founding in 1991, The Scrap Exchange has been committed to supporting local artists and reuse creators throughout the world. Originally called The Green Gallery, our exhibition space was renamed The Cameron Gallery after longtime benefactor, creative reuse artist Danny Cameron, donated the funds to build a gallery in our current location. Since it’s inception, our gallery’s mission has been to provide an accessible exhibition space for practicing artists in our community, to advocate for the inclusion of reused materials in art, and inspire our customers’ own creativity.
