Yart Sale
Shop with us at our annual YART Sale. If you can hang it, display it, make a craft project out of it, wrap something in it, decorate with it....it's YART! Tons of arts and craft supplies, gently used artwork, decorating items for not a lot of money.
If you are downsizing or de-cluttering consider donating to the Art Center at any time of the year. You get your space back, the Art Center makes money! We will take artwork, craft materials, picture frames, wrapping paper, fake flowers, holiday decorations, art/design books, figurines, small tools and small furniture items. We can even pick up, just call us. We can not take large furniture or appliances, computers, printers, glass and china housewares.
