Event Details

Artists and crafters are invited to clean out their closets to trade for new-to-you supplies during our Community Arts and Crafts Supplies Swap.

Individuals who donate on the day of the swap must wait until 2:30 PM to enter.

To ensure all can benefit, we will have a one-bag take-home limit per adult- the bag should be an average sized cloth tote bag or the size of a Trader Joe's paper bag.
