Now Open!


Allied Arts of Whatcom County welcomes you to come visit  AARTS –Allied Arts Reuse Thrift Store!

AARTS is located in the back of our current downtown gallery at 1418 Cornwall in downtown Bellingham.

The goal of AARTS is to take objects that are perceived as useless, and demonstrate their value as art supplies to provide the community with new ways to make art!

We've re-directed over 3500 lbs of arts materials and supplies from the trash can to our Allied Arts Reuse Thrift Store, giving a second life to gently used, or unwanted materials and supplies!

For more details, read our Press Release
