ReCreate
Contest & Auction
What is ReCreate?
Participants select an item from the Lawrence Habitat Restore (such as furniture, décor, or building materials) and completely transform it into something new and unexpected. The goal is not just to repair or refurbish, but to ReCreate—thinking outside the box to give the item a new purpose, function, or artistic identity.
Each transformed piece should be one of a kind, showcasing creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation. Entries will be displayed in an auction, where the finished creations are sold to support the Lawrence Habitat mission.
