Frequently asked questions

What kind of artwork can I swap?

ANY art or craft that you made is appropriate for the swap, as long as it is family-friendly. Some items swapped last year include jewelry, mosaics, a wreath, stained glass, paintings in many different mediums, crocheted scarves, lino prints, and wood-burned items.

What if my artwork isn’t “good enough”?

Any item you made yourself is welcome and is good enough.

Do I have to be there at 12:30?

You must arrive before 1:15pm in order to participate in the swap, preferably earlier. When you arrive you will be given a card to fill out with project information, and your artwork must be on the table before the swap begins at 1:15pm.
