2013 Art Supply Swap and Sale at Waterfall Arts Print E-mail

On Saturday, March 16th

(Belfast, ME) An art supply swap and sale will be held at Waterfall Arts on Saturday, March 16th from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. The swap, organized by Bridget Matros, is part of a world-wide return to swapping in lieu of trashing and buying. Matros says “Many artists admit to hoarding materials they never get around to using, while at the same time lacking funds for stuff they could use. “Shopping for free” opens new possibilities for artists to experiment and explore new mediums. The swap also serves as a mixer for area artists, and the proceeds from the suggested entry donation and special sale items will be used for new and existing programs for kids at Waterfall Arts.”

Suggested art materials suitable for swapping are lightly used paint tubes, blank or prepared canvasses, unwrinkled paper reams, stacks, pads, or large sheets/rolls, gently used tools (like brushes, drafting tools, carving sets, glue guns), bead collections in containers, soft, sealed clay, working sets of markers, books, unopened or barely used adhesives, fiber arts yarns, hooks, etc, collections of ephemera or unusual trinkets for mixed media, easels, new/unopened sets of materials, Dremmel or similar tools, portfolios, drying presses, vintage or antique art-making-related items.

Those who don’t have any art supplies to swap are welcome to come as there will be a Feature Table with extraordinary art-making items for sale as marked. Donations for this table are now being accepted. Please call 207-338-2222 to make arrangements.

Art supplies that are not appropriate for the swap are used kids’ craft kits, coloring books, completed (or incomplete) artwork, untested markers, unprotected blades or dysfunctional paper cutters, magazines, CDs, puzzles, half-used watercolor sets, cans of house paint or other hazardous waste.

Waterfall Arts is located at 256 High Street in Belfast. For more information on the swap, classes, rentals and exhibitions, please visit waterfallarts.org or call 338-2222.
