Are your art supplies piling up, or are you eager to try a new medium without spending a fortune? North Bend Art & Industry (NBA&I) has the perfect solution: their First Annual Art Supply Swap!
This community event will take place on November 9th, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, at the SnoValley Chamber of Commerce, located at 128 W 2nd St, North Bend.
How It Works
The Art Supply Swap invites participants to exchange art supplies they no longer need for new materials. Donations will be accepted until November 7th to give volunteers time to sort and prepare for the event. Those who donate will receive early access to the available supplies, a perk for contributing to the swap.
While the event is free, NBA&I welcomes monetary donations from participants who can give. Every dollar helps support its mission of expanding access to creative spaces and fostering community engagement through the arts.
