6th Annual Spring Art Swap

Help us celebrate Earth Day, tidy up your home studio, and get some fabulous new-to-you art supplies at our annual Spring Art Swap! This is a free and all ages event to help support our creative community in Florence.

Bring your gently used and no longer wanted tools, equipment, materials or unfinished projects to donate, and swap them for items to take home. Free to swappers, or $5 for guests to fill up a grocery bag.

Event will be at the REAR of the building, in our back parking area. We’ll have a couple of marked spaces across the alley for free parking! You can access the back area via entrance on Nopal street.

Examples of swappable items include, but are not limited to:

painting- acrylic, oil or watercolor paints, canvas, stretcher bars, art pads, palettes, charcoals, fixative, etc.

photography – cameras, lenses, accessories, studio equipment, digital editing software, magazines or books

sewing – patterns, fabric, notions, sewing machines or accessories, machine oil, digital design software, magazines or books

fiber arts – yarn, needles, pattern or instruction books, drop spindles, embroidery frame, felting equipment, etc.

collage- magazines with a variety of eye catching imagery, acrylic glaze, glue sticks, scissors, assembly board

sculpture – armature wire, clays, tools, ceramic glazes, assemblage items

digital arts – software, computer equipment, accessories

All items to donate must be in useable, clean, and unbroken condition.

Donation items may be dropped off Friday, April 25th between 11am-6pm. If you need to get a donation to us outside of these hours, please contact the Studio to arrange a time.

Un-swapped items will be donated to area charities and community groups as relevant. We appreciate our Swappers for helping us find new homes for art supplies that would otherwise go into the landfill!
