Art Supply Swap

Sustainably refresh your art supplies and meet fellow artists!

Moved onto a new hobby before you finished the last one? Don't worry, we do it to! Recycle those supplies and get ideas for new projects at our upcoming Art Supply Swap. Bring your gently-used art supplies and exchange them for others. Explore new projects and materials without spending a dime and connect with fellow artists and crafters in your community!

Finished making your Halloween costume and have leftover supplies? Still working on that costume and need supplies or inspiration? This is the place for you!

This is a drop-in event. Registration is not required but please bring something to swap if you plan to take something home. 

All supplies should be whole and in very good condition. Any supplies remaining will be donated.
