The details

About this event

The Art & Supply Swap in Milwaukee is more than just a chance to clear out your art closet; it's a community effort to support local artists. Spearheaded by Leah, a passionate artist featured on Project Pitch It, this initiative invites you to donate unused art materials to benefit others. With multiple drop-off locations around the city, it's easy to contribute and make a difference.

This event is a fantastic opportunity to engage with Milwaukee's vibrant art scene. Whether you're an artist looking to share resources or someone who wants to support local creatives, the Art & Supply Swap is a meaningful way to get involved. Check out the QR code for more details on how to participate or volunteer.

From the organizer

Hello artists, lovers of art, and community! If you’re a person who is a big fan of people helping people doing good things for the community, I wanted to take a moment to shine light on a mission of what one of our artists, @vadose_orchid is doing here in Milwaukee and how you can help! Leah is an amazing person and artist who I’ve known for a long time and recently featured on @projectpitchit sharing her vision/passion of an Art & Supply Swap. She is looking for help gathering art supplies, materials that will be used for art, tools used for art and hoping to make this a city wide mission. If you have an abundance of any of the supplies listed in the second and third slides there are drop off locations listed on the bottom of slide one. Check out the QR code to learn more and how to help support this mission or volunteer! Visit Leah’s page , @vadose_orchid , for how to get involved and support!
