The PCA Spring Swap is Saturday at Pendleton Cen- ter for the Arts, 214 N. Main St., Pendleton. At 9:30 a.m., people can bring in art and craft materials as well as tools they would like to sell or give away. In addition, participants are welcome to bring in works of art, such as paintings, pot- tery, drawings and more. A seller-to-seller exchange is planned until 10:30 a.m. Then, from 10:30 a.m. to noon, the doors will be open for the general public to pick out or purchase items. There is no entry fee. The Spring Swap is the brainchild of Bonnie Day, ed- ucation coordinator at the arts center. She came up with the idea while looking at all the art materials that had accumu- lated on the supply shelves at the arts center. She said they were ready to refresh the art center’s stash of fabric, paper goods, beads and ephemera, and thought that other local artists and crafters might be too. “All of our supplies have great re-use potential, we just have to get them into the right person’s hands,” Day said. “One person’s trash is anoth- er’s treasure, right?” Price labels will be provid- ed for swappers who would like to have select items for sale. However, Day is expect- ing most people will bring items that will be free for the taking. In addition, the arts center will contribute a large number of items that they have collected over the years. Anything remaining after the swap will be donated to local thrift stores or taken to Pend- leton Sanitary Service for dis- posal.
