art supplies

Have art supplies collecting dust? We’d love to help them find a second life.

Living Room is built around sharing creative materials, and many of the supplies in our Art Library have been generously donated by our community. If you have art supplies you no longer use, there's a good chance someone else will.

That said, our space is small, and we have to be thoughtful about what we accept. We aren't able to take every donation, even if the items are in great condition

before you donate

If your items are on our wishlist below, there's a much better chance we'll be able to use them.

Before dropping anything off, please email us:

  • A few photos of the items

  • A brief description (what it is and roughly how much)

  • Anything helpful to know about the condition

We'll get back to you and let you know whether we can accept.

Email us photos!

Not sure if something is useful? Send us a photo anyway! We'd much rather take a quick look than have you guess—and if we can't use it, we may even know another organization that can.
