Art Supplies & Tools Swap AT Oldfields School

Save the Date

Calling all artists, makers, DIYers, and tool enthusiasts! Join us for Swap, where you can refresh your toolbox, give gently-used supplies a second life, and connect with fellow creatives.

> STOP by and drop off your gently used or unused art/tool supplies – think paints, brushes, sketchpads, yarn, and screw drivers.
> SWAP what you don’t need anymore for something new-to-you on our designated community swap tables.
> SHOP vendor tables (or sign-up to become one!) for things like inexpensive frames and other tools worth a few bucks.

Whether you're looking to declutter, affordably restock, or just browse for something different, this is an opportunity to meet locals artists and craft-people.

Event Highlights:

• FREE community swap tables – drop off what you don’t use, pick up what you need. Art supplies and tools, left at the end of the day will be donated to Scrap and the ReStore (Habitat for Humanity). Please only donate items that meet Scrap’s requirements. Restore donated tools must be in working condition and include all parts: correct cords, batteries, and remote controls (if applicable).

• Vendor tables for selling art and craft tools (reserve yours today by filling out the form.)

• Great networking opportunity on Oldfields School’s gorgeous campus.

Want to be Vendor?

Oldfields School has provided twenty-eight 6’ tables. Tables can be reserved for a table fee of $20, here. Or if you would like to provide your own table, a reduced fee of $10 will help cover the cost of organizing this event and your spot can be reserved here.

Please fill out the Vendor/Participation form and let us know what you plan on selling.

Disclaimer: We ask that if you are leaving with items, that you do so because you want to use them and NOT resell them. While we will not be monitoring the swap tables, the purpose of this community event is to help people on a budget explore their craft, not to make money for personal gain.
