Give Big Pittsburgh

There’s beauty in what others overlook. A scrap of fabric, a jar lid, a piece of cardboard destined for the landfill. At Wabi Sabi Upcycling, we see possibilities. We see art waiting to happen.

Every day, our programs transform discarded materials into something meaningful—and in the process, we’re transforming communities. Through hands-on creativity, participants discover that imperfection is beautiful, that sustainability can be joyful, and that everyone has something to contribute.

Can you be part of that transformation? Save the date – GiveBig on December 2, 2025.

Your gift will support our programs and our scholarship fund, which ensures that cost is never a barrier to creativity. Whether it’s a child exploring art for the first time or an adult finding a new outlet for self-expression, your generosity makes it possible.

And here’s exciting news: one of our board members is matching every dollar donated—up to $250. That means your $25 becomes $50. Your $100 becomes $200. But only until we hit that match!

Will you help us get there?

Thank you for believing, like we do, that beauty can come from the most unexpected places.
