Everyone is invited to our FREE “Little” Community Art Exchange!
All are welcome to take and leave (AKA exchange) arts-related items, such as:
pieces of art you created,
pieces of art someone else created
art-in-progress that you hope someone else will add to or finish,
art supplies (new or gently used).
Art of all kinds is welcome, with a special invitation for art that affirms belonging & community.
The Free “Little” Community Art Exchange was built in 2024 by the inimitable Clayton Johnson. Special thanks to Sharon Mansur for inspiration. ❤️
