Library pop-ups are a free shopping experience

Franklinton Friday pop-ups will have very reasonable prices and lots of fill-a-bag specials

We are looking to bring more art supply options into the Franklinton area, while also giving back to the greater Columbus community. We also hate to see good supplies go to waste, so we're collecting from the folks who no longer need them and redistributing them to folks who have the ideas and time to make something awesome.

For reference, here are some other folks doing this type of thing:

If you want to donate supplies but can’t make the listed times, reach out and let us know when you're available, and we can figure something out.

If you want to shop items but can’t make that time, keep an eye on this page for future events. Or add our Google calendar.

I get it, so do we! Reach out if you know of more local ones to add to the list
