Member Meeting & Art Supplies Swap

Sun, February 9, 2020 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm EST

member meeting and art swap

Sunday, February 9 from 4-6pm

The time is here! Join us at our most popular All Members Meeting: Del Ray Artisans’ annual Art Supplies Swap! If you haven’t already, check your studios, basements, closets, attics—wherever you have stashed those old art supplies that you really thought you would use, and bite the bullet—if you haven’t used them yet—give someone else a chance! And maybe you will find a new project waiting for you! Please bring your old supplies with you to the meeting.

This year, we ask that you to take a look at what you have and see if items can be donated to Inspiration Matterz, an initiative run by local artist and fellow Del Ray Artisans member Kelli Sincock. See below for the list of supplies needed for the prison program and continuing education [outside of jail] program.

Any supplies not donated to Inspiration Matterz will be collected and displayed in the middle of the room. Light refreshments will be served as we learn about the latest DRA news, and view the supplies. We will then pull names from a hat to take turns choosing “new” supplies! We can’t wait to see what everyone brings this year!

—Kathy Turner, Director of Communications, Communications@DelRayArtisans.org
