Art Garage Sale
Members' Art Supplies Swap and Sale – Open to the Public to Shop!
Wednesday, July 15, 10am to noon.
at the garden of the Saugatuck-Douglas History Center in 130 Center Street in Douglas (aka the Old School House).
Artists don’t need a garage to have a sale. All that is needed is some tables, some art supplies, books, frames and even art that you want to sell or barter... plus a bunch of eager artists. Please join in our first arty garage sale.
Bring items that you no longer use or need and watch them get snatched up by other artists who are either just delving into the art world or have always wanted to try a new medium or technique. Each artist will be responsible for pricing and selling their items.
If you wish to sell, please email event coordinator Gemina at [email protected] by Wednesday, July 7.
