Donate Art Supplies

The time has come, the Walrus said, to speak of many things—of glue sticks, paint, and glitter trays, and tools for batik wings...

The Community Art Studio relies on donations of usable items and supplies that can be magically transformed into art for the Procession.

You can contribute your own surplus supplies, or buy supplies and donate those.

Here are some of the supplies and materials we use:
