Back by popular demand! Join us for an autumn arts & crafts supply swap!
Bring your gently used or unused items and swap with fellow community artists & crafters for something to fuel your next hobby!
What to Bring:
Unused or Gently Used Supplies.
Ensure supplies are clean and in good condition.
For example: Paints, brushes, paper, canvases, old frames, pencils, pastels, yarn, thread, off-cut fabric scraps, etc.
What NOT to Bring:
Moldy, dirty, dusty materials.
Anything needing significant repair or unusable. Hardened paint tubes, oil-based solvents, house paint, stained or smoky fabric.
Non-arts related items.
How to Participate:
Bring items you no longer need or use to contribute.
Contact

Swap Rules:
Be respectful of other participants and take only what you need for personal use. Taking excessive quantities of supplies (hoarding) is discouraged.
First come, first served, no holds.
If you would like your items back if unclaimed, please retrieve them between 3pm and 4pm Thursday July 17th.
All unclaimed materials at the end of the day will be donated to GCAC or recycled.
Nothing to Swap? That's okay, you can still participate!
The goal of the swap is to increase accessibility to art supplies for our rural community, and create a more sustainable arts community.
GCAC will also be accepting donations to support the supply fund for our First Friday and $MART ART Workshops.
