Looking to freshen up your art supply stash? Join us for an art supply swap meet at the Hutchinson Art Center on Saturday, April 8th and is co-hosted by the Dirty Hands Book Club in partnership with Crow & Co. Bookstore. The swap begins on Saturday, April 8th at 6:00 PM and goes through 8:00 PM. No art supplies will be sold or purchased from this event. All artists are encouraged to pick items responsibly - only take what you will use!

There will also be an arts and crafts station set up in the Hutchinson Art Center’s classroom for artists to test supplies and practice their skills. This is also a great place to meet other artists, so come by, say hi, and see what other artists have been up to! Light refreshments will be provided and admission is free (a donation of $5 per person is encouraged).

Delivery of Art Supply Donations: The delivery window for art supplies is April 7th and 8th from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Bring your sealed or gently used art supplies to the Hutchinson Art Center located at 405 N. Washington Street in Hutchinson, Kansas. Make sure that the art supplies are in their original packaging, or clearly marked on the outside so that they can be easily identified during the swap meet.

Items accepted include paints, pencils, paper (unmarked), unused erasers, rulers, mixing mediums, canvases, and frames. Bottles and tubes should be over half full. A limited number of art supply storage containers and mixed media ephemera will be accepted for this event. Things like scrap lumber, broken art supplies, dirty art supplies, or other unsuitable items should not be donated to this event. The Hutchinson Art Center reserves the right to decline art supply donations for any reason.
