Art Supply Swap

Join us on Sunday, October 4th, from 2-4 PM for an afternoon of creativity and sustainability!

🎨 Art Supply Swap Refresh your stash or pass along materials you no longer need—one artist’s extras might be another’s inspiration! You never know what exciting tools or supplies you might discover. Check the list of acceptable items before bringing materials to swap.

This free event is open to all! Registration is encouraged but not required. Drop in for a bit or stay for the whole afternoon. We’d love to have you!
