Area artisans and crafters
will have an opportunity to
get rid of unneeded art sup-
plies and pick up items others
are discarding.
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.

541-278-9201 or visit www.
pendletonarts.org.
