Have art/craft supplies you don't need?

Need art/craft supplies you don't have?

Reduce, reuse & recycle– art supplies!

Joe’s garage provides a venue for exchanging art supplies where artists, craft-makers, do-it-yourselfers, teachers and others can bring in the materials they don’t need and take new-to-them materials that they can use.

Come to Joe’s garage to swap supplies with other artists, puppeteers, craft-makers, teachers and people who feel crowded by the very materials they try to wrestle into creative meaning– or just really pretty pictures.

Bring art supplies and materials that you don’t need– and pass them on to someone who may find that it’s just the thing to finish a masterpiece. And search for your missing piece amid the treasures others have shared.

The details

Cost: Free to attend the exchange. Most materials are free (for anyone who has brought in materials to exchange or who pledges to responsibly recycle or pass on materials when they are done with them) or pay $5 a bag (for people who haven’t brought in exchange materials or choose not to make a pledge).

We expect to swap: acrylic paint, clay, markers, canvas…. and whatever you choose to share! (Please don’t bring anything dangerous– and email before bringing anything huge–we’re trying to swap supplies, not store more.)

We know we’ll have: lumber, fabric, coroplast (that white plastic sheeting used for making signs– but this is all bright white and un-marred by political logos!), latex paint….

Early drop off (and maybe even pick-up) of materials is possible. Contact the organizer for more information.
