Join Us This Year For The Junk Revolution!
Over the last year, we’ve been getting all the video spaces ready to film Bevel Cafe: A Junk Reality Show. And we’ve launched a brand new module of The Universe Within called Making Music! We’re also palying a pivotal roll in advancing a crerative economy in Santa Cruz County Arizona through the Morley Arts District.
More than ever, we need your support as The Junk Revolution begins. What will we need? New currency for consciousness! A Guru for inspiration! And a creative hot spot in the Junk Universe at The Bevel Cafe!
Get the movement started! Donate today to help us impleement these programs!

“In the early days of the Junk Revolution space was littered with discarded items spiraling around a primordial dump of junk genesis; hot spots of creation where space junk collisions formed recycled junk stars.”
“Rising from the plasma of debris came a new junk reality, a rebirth of junk consciousness and a new currency for life. We throw them out but they come back stronger, reborn and full of life. From loss comes truth and thus is the wisdom of the junk.”
“At the center of the Revolution is a hot spot called the Bevel Café, a night club where junk star soldiers from both sides of the conflict come into play, Action Heroes of the Creative Forces fighting for The Junk Revolution rubbing up against their antagonists, the Science Friction Characters of the Squeaky-Clean Resistance.”

Making Music Multimedia Curriculum
What’s Next for 2023-2024? Implementation of Module 4: Making Music! Support development and teacher stipends for 40 hours of new STEAM curriculum.
Invest In Innovative Education That Inspires Students To Learn!
Through The Universe Within kids learn physics, mechanics, geometry, leadership and communication skills, and more by solving real-world problems and presenting their craft work at public events: The Pedestrian Carnival, The World Exhibition and The Circus of Electricity! It’s fun, fresh, engaging – and meets school standards. We’ve developed it with Patagonia Elementary School and University of Arizona School of Mathematical Sciences.
As an all-volunteer organization, we rely on in-kind services to develop and implement programming. But we need to hire artists, educators and technologists to help our volunteer team produce our creativity programs.
“I’m Julissa Santos. For the last six months I have been working with The Universe Within and with Ms. Paula. The Universe Within has helped me learn things that I have never learned before because of The Universe Within I learn how to light a light with only two batteries and also the universe has inspired me to go on in life and use the stuff I have learned. It taught me how to use electricity. It also made me think about how important it is to design cities well. I had to come up with my own city and build it.”
Gifts of all sizes are welcome. Every gift will be acknowledged on our website and on social media. If you’d like to send a donation by mail, please send your check to Mat Bevel Company to PO Box 1163, Patagonia, AZ 85624. Our Charitable Tax Number is: 13-4012463. Thank you for your support!
