Where is Creative Chaos Emporium located?
From January - December 2026, we’re partnering with Project Pop-Up to host a brick & mortar storefront at
239 North Avenue, Wakefield, MA 01880
We’re happy to share that Project Pop-Up & the town of Wakefield will be extending our contract through December (three extra months past our original contract through September!)
After that, if we’re able to make it work financially, we’d love to stay on as a permanent shop at our current location or elsewhere if needed. Stay tuned!
Donate arts & crafts supplies!
People (especially people who like to make things!) often have so much STUFF. It can be hard to find a place to donate arts & crafts supplies, so these much-loved items sometimes end up in the trash.
Creative Chaos Emporium accepts donations of clean, usable arts & crafts supplies. It’s our goal to find new homes for them & keep them out of the waste stream while providing affordable, accessible art supplies to our community.
