Little Free Art Shop

One of the most important parts of making art is having the right supplies but we know many are experiencing less access to art supplies. In order to change this limitation into a collective resource, we are excited to announce the opening of our Little Free Art Shop!

Located in front of the Art Works Now building, the shop is accessible to ALL and is OPEN 24/7. Much like a "free library", those throughout the community will be able to donate new or gently used art supplies as well as pick up supplies if they need them.

Connecting our community and breaking down barriers through art is at the heart of our mission as an organization. With the right tools, we can all create the world we imagine.
