Do you have art supplies that you no longer need and trying to figure out what to do with them? Are you wanting to jump start your creative practice and need a refresh on your art supplies?
Then we invite you to join our "Art Supply Swap" event on Sunday April 14th from 2-4pm.
Enjoy an afternoon of refreshments while networking and trading art supplies with fellow artists.
One artist’s junk may be another artist’s inspiration!
This is a free event — registration is requested but not required.
Note: Please be sure to check list below to see what items are acceptable for swapping.
