Fall Arts & Crafts Supply Swap

In-person attendees will gather at the Norman Minsky Lecture Hall for a community craft-supply swap. Supply drop-off begins in August at the greeter desk on the first floor atrium, and attendees can bring items on the day of the event. Leftover supplies are kept for future swaps or donated to local groups or schools. A two-bag limit is enforced to ensure fair access, with adjustments if supplies are scarce, and attendees are asked not to deplete an entire category. Participants are encouraged to bring items such as yarn, fabric, paper, paints, craft kits, and related materials, and can contact Shavaun Rigler with questions.
