A Fun, Sustainable Way to Refresh Art Supplies

Local artists and craft enthusiasts are invited to refresh their art supplies or find new inspiration at the South Irving Library Community Art Supply Swap on Saturday, Dec. 7.

This community-driven event encourages the exchange of gently used or new art materials, promoting sustainability and creativity.

The Community Art Supply Swap provides an opportunity for artists of all ages and skill levels to discover fresh tools, re-home surplus supplies and connect with fellow creatives from the Irving area. Participants are encouraged to bring a variety of art supplies, including paints, brushes, canvases, sketchbooks, fabric, yarn and more.
