Frequently Asked Questions
Who would want all of this old <<fill in the blank>>?
More people than you can imagine. There is no limit to the creativity in the
arts and crafting communities, and that creativity is fueled by ready access to
high quality materials in sufficient quantity and at great prices. And, until the
artists and materials find each other at the Texas Art Asylum, we are happy to
clear them out of your way.
Where is your store/donation center?
We are conveniently located near I-10 and 45 at 1230 Houston Avenue,
Houston, Texas 77007.
Are my donations tax deductible?
Yes! Donations by individuals are tax deductible through our nonprofit
affiliate, the Center for Recycled Art (CRA).
When do you accept donations?
We accept donations the first, third and fourth weeks of the month. We do not
accept donations during the second week of the month so we can attempt to
get caught up on the three previous weeks' donations. Please humor us.

Can I sell you/trade some of my junk for some of your junk?
Nope! Or, at least not until we can convince our landlord to accept yarn and
empty yogurt cups in lieu of a rent check ... The Texas Art Asylum is a
for-profit social enterprise.
What exactly is the deal with clothing donations?
While we would love to be able to take everything, we just don't have the
space or staff to handle tons of clothing on an ongoing basis. Having said
that, we will accept items made of wool, silk, leather and suede, as well as
embellished items of all kinds. We will also accept hats, belts and neckties,
and t-shirts, or we plan to until we say uncle. We will keep our donations lists
updated, so you can always check there to see if circumstances have
changed. Or, you are encouraged to call or email and ask!
Do you have/will you take ... ?
The answer to this question is always changing. The best thing to do is call or
email and ask!
Can I get a refund for my class registration? I signed up, but
now I can't make it.
Because our class sizes are limited, registrations are non-refundable. With
seven days notice, we can transfer your registration to a future class. If you
have a last minute conflict, you may transfer your registration to a friend and
let that person attend in your place.

Are you two related/sisters/mother & daughter?
No./God, no./I'm going to punch you.
Who are the old people in that picture?
That's my great grandfather, Papa Metz, looking very, very happy, while his
poor second wife is looking much less happy. In addition to being named
Fanny, she had plenty more to be unhappy about.
