Creativity for Everyone!
Art supplies can be expensive, but creativity should never be out of reach. The SACA Artists’ Pantry helps remove barriers so more people can experience the joy and healing of making art.
We invite to community to donate new or gently used art and craft supplies, which will then be redistributed at free community "shopping" events designed to provide creative resources for all.
Donations can be dropped off at any of the following Southbury partner locations:
-
The Cottage at Main Cooperative
-
Vicinanza Art Gallery and Studios
-
Southbury Parks and Recreation Office
-
More locations to come!
Our goal is simple: to make creativity accessible to everyone. Art supplies can be costly, yet creative expression is vital for emotional well-being. The Artists’ Pantry helps remove barriers so more people can create.
The idea blossomed from community feedback and was embraced by SACA members and Southbury residents eager to give their unused supplies a second life.
