SUMMARY:NOOD Art Supply Swap + Life Drawing
DESCRIPTION:Got art supplies gathering dust? Curious about a tool you’ve never tried? Come swap it. \nNOOD Art Supply Swap + Life Drawing is a free\, low-pressure exchange where artists trade unused or gently used supplies with other artists. Got extra charcoal sticks?

Come hang out\, meet new creative humans\, and give good supplies a second life. \nStick around and join us for 1 hour of life-drawing by donation using your newly-swapped tools. \n🎨 By donation\n📍 PoMoArts\, 2425 St Johns Street\n🗓 January 21\n⏰ 5:30–8:30 PM \nBring what you can.
