Bring any handmade craft or piece of art, go home with an original piece from another creator.
We invite all local artists to participate! Bring your handmade art to the Round Lake Auditorium between 12:30 and 1:00 on June 3. Display your artwork on the provided tables, enter a raffle or two, and have a snack while you socialize with other artists and event-goers. At 1:15 the fun will begin! When your number is called, you get to choose somebody else’s art to take home.
We’ll also have an art and craft supply swap—donate what you can, take what you can use. You don’t need to donate a supply to take a supply. The art and craft donation table will be open throughout the event to leave your donations of unwanted art or craft supplies and/or find a treasure to take home.
There will also be raffle prizes at the end of the Swap!
Sign up early for the chance to have your work featured on our website, Facebook page, and Instagram!
