Our Story
Founded by Nicole McGee in 2011, Upcycle Parts Shop began as a vision to engage the community in reuse art. Partnering with the St. Clair Superior Development Corporation, Nicole secured a grant from ArtPlace America in 2013, establishing the shop as a cornerstone of creative placemaking. In 2014, co-founder Devon Fegen-Herdman joined the mission, and together they opened a vibrant 900 square foot storefront in Cleveland's St. Clair Superior neighborhood. This 501(c)(3) nonprofit thrives on the principles of creativity, community, and sustainability, transforming discarded materials into artistic opportunities.
