Who we are

Our aim is to engage & uplift our community & encourage sustainable creativity by being an accessible second-hand resource for creative materials and affordable workshops.

Hi! I’m Shay. I’ve been passionate about reuse, thrifting, making art and music, and community gathering for as long as I can remember! I spent 5+ years working for a nonprofit Creative Reuse Center called SCRAP back in Denton, Texas before moving to Boise in 2020, and I seriously loved everything about it. For the past 3 years, I've been working towards opening my own art supply thrift store here in Boise. I’ve been acquiring material donations and operating an online store as well as doing sporadic pop-up markets. And now, I have finally secured a Brick + Mortar space to call Cats Eye home. Our new storefront is located at 1747 S. Broadway Ave. Boise, ID 83706

Information about donations, hours of operation, upcoming classes & workshops etc. will be shared and updated as it becomes available.
