How It Works

The Art Supply Library is simple to use. It’s free, open to everyone, and runs on the idea that creativity grows when we share what we have.

How to Find It

You’ll find the library at the corner of Cherokee and Iowa, about 100 feet from the intersection. It’s located behind the restaurant Yaquis and in front of the single-story brick building with the green storefront, Lindsay Braman Studios.

Look for the outdoor metal cabinet with clear signage.

What You Can Take

  • Art and craft supplies you’ll use.
  • Items like crayons, yarn, paper, fabric, drawing supplies, and more.
  • No cost and no sign-up. Just take what you need.

What You Can Leave

  • Gently used or new art supplies.
  • Extras from your own projects.
  • Tools or materials other makers might use.
  • Don’t leave anything that might cause the library or things in it to become stinky, sticky, or sparkly.

Usage Guidelines: Be Kind and Creative

  • Take only what you’ll use so others can enjoy it too.
  • Leave things in good condition.
  • Respect the space and help keep it tidy.
  • Share creatively—this library is here to reduce waste and spread art-making supplies to anyone who wants them.

By using the Art Supply Library, you’re helping build a more creative, connected, and sustainable community.
