Works-in-Progress is an artist collective based in Toronto and Hamilton.
We make art out of garbage, co-host swaps and do workshops.  We use recycled materials in art-making because up-cycling inspires creativity.

Welcome! We do not have any upcoming events on our calendar BUT we are busy offline, planning, making things and working on ways to work with others.  There are links below to find out more if you are an EDUCATOR willing to collaborate, an ARTIST/ARTISAN (or maker/mender) who works with up-cycled materials and would be willing to share skills, or an ECO-MINDED CITIZEN  who wants to run a (pandemic safe) CLOTHING SWAP please click through to find out more, and then contact us.  This is all with the support of grants from the Ontario Arts Council and City of Toronto/Live Green Community Waste Reduction Grant program
