Prairie Rose Needleworks, The Knittery Nook, and The Octagon Center for the Arts are committed to making creativity inclusive so we've teamed up to for a special art & craft supply drive!
Bring your new and/or gently used art & craft supplies to one of our locations during the month of August. The Octagon will then host a special free art supply day for the community in September.
Donation Rules:
- We accept items that can be used for art/craft activities for any age, from fingerpaints and fat paintbrushes to oil paint and embroidery thread.
- Any liquids (paint, glue, etc.) should be at least half full and able to flow through the lid.
- Yarn, thread and other fibers should be wound or neatly presented. Please do not send a nest that needs to be untangled.
