Art Supplies Swap
Saturday, January 31 2:00pm - 5:00pm Dunaway Community Meeting Room
Join us for an Art Supply Swap! This event invites artists and makers to share art supplies in good condition and discover new materials from fellow community members. |
|
|
All supplies are free to give and take—no selling permitted—and only art supplies are accepted.
Participants who are bringing supplies may arrive early to set up between 2:00pm and 2:30pm. Contributors can choose to arrange their items on a full or half table and may begin swapping during this early setup period. After setup, the swap opens to everyone, including those who did not bring supplies.
At the end of the event, participants who brought supplies are responsible for picking up any remaining items between 4:30 and 5:00 p.m. Any supplies not collected by that time will be donated or discarded. This is a great opportunity to clear out unused materials, find inspiration, and connect with fellow creatives in a welcoming, low-key environment. |
