Collect & Gather in Plover, WI is basically what happens when a art supply thrift store, junk art boutique and an art studio have a very creative baby. It’s part free community makerspace (on the mezzanine of Artist & Fare), part secondhand art supply wonderland, and 100% proof that glitter truly never dies—it just gets donated and reincarnated into someone else’s masterpiece. Think of it as Plover’s unofficial artsy clubhouse: you can paint, sew, glue googly eyes on things that shouldn’t have googly eyes, and then casually brag that your materials are “sustainably sourced” (aka all our stock is donated and secondhand). It’s where serious artists go AND new makers trying things out. The only real rule is: don’t drink the paintbrush water, no matter how much it looks like coffee.
