About the Artists
Creative Chicago Reuse Exchange (CCRx) fosters creativity and environmental stewardship by reimagining and redistributing surplus. Their core business is teaching and modeling “creative reuse” by supporting and inspiring Chicago’s educational community—teachers, nonprofits artists, community groups—and connecting them with surplus materials, supplies, and equipment donated by businesses and individuals. CCRx believes “trash is just a failure of the imagination” and their goal is for creative reuse to become an integral part of Chicago’s infrastructure.
Esperanza Rosas, also known by her creative moniker of Runsy, is a Chicago-based multidisciplinary artist specializing in drawing and design. Her work encompasses the layered intersectionality of her identity as a Mexican-American woman from the South Side of Chicago.
Funding
Support for Family Programs is provided in part by the MCA Women’s Board Family Education Initiative, Northern Trust, and Peoples Gas Community Fund at The Chicago Community Fund.
