ABOUT THE THINGS LAB
The Things Lab reuse center is an artist-led socially-engaged participatory project and start-up non-profit created by Susan Caraballo & Kerry Phillips. The Things Lab emphasizes creativity as a resource for resiliency and adaptability centering on three complementary aspects: the collaborative, ever-changing immersive art installation/reuse center where one determines the pricing, paying what they value items to be worth within their budget; a lending library of things that meaningfully benefits the neighboring communities; and a series of arts & community workshops and events that serve as a meeting place connecting creativity, sustainability, memory, shared knowledge and compassion.
PARKING: Since we will be taking over part of the parking lot, there will be limited parking at Ironsbend where The Things Lab is located. We are working on confirming nearby parking lots.
The Things Lab is supported in part by Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners.
