    Art Supplies and Equipment sale ..Let's have fun!

     
    The April meeting will also be a time where we can all bring along anything in our studios we wish to sell or give away to other members.
    These supplies can be in any medium, not just pastels. You might have old frames, paints, pencils and yes, of course pastels and papers etc.
    So members, use this time to clean out your studios, and give others a chance to perhaps make use of your unwanted supplies.
    Each member with supplies will handle their own sales .
    Don't forget to bring some cash with you and
    Happy cleaning!
