Join us for the Bracelet Exchange Project, a special Craftivism experience inspired by kindness, connection, and community. As part of this season of giving, guests of all ages are invited to create a handmade bracelet and a message of encouragement to share with a future visitor. Through this simple act of creativity, participants can leave behind a meaningful reminder that small gestures can have a lasting impact. After creating and donating a bracelet, guests will receive a bracelet and message made by a previous participant. Throughout the month, the Bracelet Exchange Project will grow into a chain of connection, linking visitors through shared messages of hope, empathy, and belonging. Stop by, get creative, and help spread a little joy during the holiday season.
The day after Thanksgiving is often known as one of the biggest shopping days of the year, but National Buy Nothing Day invites us to pause and think differently about consumption, community, and the impact of our choices. Join the Center for an afternoon of learning and reflection as we explore how everyday purchasing decisions affect people, communities, and the environment. Through engaging activities and conversations, visitors will gain new perspectives on ethical consumption and discover ways to make more intentional choices. In partnership with the Atlanta Tool Bank, guests can participate in special "My Passion" sessions to learn about each organization's mission and how they help build a more sustainable Atlanta. The event will also feature an ethical footprint-themed art activity, a live artist painting experience, and a donation collection that encourages giving back to the community. Whether you're interested in reducing waste, rethinking consumer habits, or finding practical ways to make a positive impact, National Buy Nothing Day at the Center offers an inspiring opportunity to explore sustainability, stewardship, and community action.
