“Creative Castoffs”

Bring us your “Creative Castoffs” Now!

The Arts Center will be hosting its second annual sale of “anything artful” on Saturday, October 22nd from 10am until 3pm. That means it is once again time to clean out your art studio or your art space! We want your unwanted "artful items" so we can help put them into the hands of those who will use them!

If all of you remember last year, the Creative Castoffs Sale was an amazing day of affordable purchases of items like frames, easels, art glass, art books, magazines, paints, brushes, palate knives, watercolor paper, tripods, sound equipment, scrapbooking goods, photography tools, woodshop tools, floral design items, canvases, finished artwork, studio props, ceramic and clay items, glass working tools, pastel kits and soooo many items for creative use and enjoyment that we just cannot begin to list them all.

Beginning now, The Arts Center will take useful items only that pertain in some way to art-making, art-learning, art-fixing, etc. Yes, we are happy to give you a letter of donation too for your taxes; just ask! Is it too heavy or too big for you to haul? We can assist you, or at least we can try!

Umpqua Valley Arts Center hours are Tuesday through Friday 10am to 4pm.

If you have questions or if you are wondering whether or not it is “artful” please call the Arts Center Operations Assistant, Areole Trattner at 541-672-2532 and she can help you! (If she is not available you can ask for Aleta).
