Frequently Asked Questions
Why are you giving away art supplies for free
Ask any artist, maker, or crafter about their materials and they’ll tell you just how expensive it can be, especially when you’re just starting out. Our closet exists to help alleviate that burden. To learn more, read “Our Story.“
