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.

Toys In Scrapland
NOVEMBER 14th - JANUARY 4th
With the gift giving season upon us, Toys In Scrapland focuses on one of the biggest donated items we receive come January: TOYS.
As people rid themselves of old toys in exchange for new, a deluge of these well-loved playthings make their way to our donation door. Some quickly find new homes, while others arrive dirty, worn, outdated or in pieces and sit unwanted on our shelves and in our bins.
For Toys In Scrapland we called upon artists to submit work that incorporates toys and play. We hope their work inspires you to reimagine what you can do with the things you find in our store.

submissions
Yellow House Gallery
February-April // May-July // August-November
Submissions Ongoing
The Yellow House is our newest gallery dedicated to showcasing tiny art. If you create fine art on a micro scale, or have one small showstopper that would fit into a little under one cubic foot of space, please submit! Exhibits run for three months and will put your creations front and center in our lobby right outside the main gallery.
For more pictures of the gallery and info about how to apply follow the link below
Bits and Pieces
January 30th - March 22nd, 2026
Submission Deadline December 20th, 2025
There is no art medium better suited to the materials we offer at The Scrap Exchange than collage and assemblage. So, for our first juried group show of 2026, we want to get back to basics and showcase this quintessential practice that is at the core of what drives many of our Scrap community to create.
Follow the link below to learn more details about this call.
Pitch Us!
Have a big idea that doesn’t fit any of our calls for art? If you have a solo exhibition you’d like to submit for consideration, or maybe a group show idea that’s looking for a venue, pitch it to us! While we do have regularly scheduled exhibitions, there are a few spots per year that we are looking to fill.
Follow the link below to learn more about the parameters for submitting your idea.
Please note that all accepted artwork must be delivered and picked up in-person. We do not have the capacity to handle mailed submissions.
