Donate your extra art and craft supplies to a good cause

At last year's Hampdenfest, the Baltimore Etsy Street Team held a successful craft supply drive for Art with a Heart, Inc. They've decided to do it again at one of their largest group venues, and "America's largest free art festival" ArtScape.

So help them help Art with a Heart, Inc. carry out its mission by bringing craft supply items to one of the BEST artists at Artscape. As a "thank you" for your donation, BEST is offering a 10 percent discount off a single item purchased at Artscape from one its artists. You may bring any unused craft (or office) supplies or gift card to the BEST tent at ArtScape or to any of their participating artists at ArtScape to receive the discount. One discount per person, and the offer is only valid on purchases made at Artscape on July 17-19.

Participating BEST Members:

BlockPartyPress
DandelionBlu
ElisaShereJewelry
greenstarstudio
JenMenkhaus
JennyJen42
JillPopowichDesigns
SweetPepita
TheBrokenPlate
TigerLillyShop
Yummy & Company

Items they are looking for include markers, glue, erasers, pencils, tape, Mod Podge, paint brushes, single hole punchers, scissors, aluminum foil, disposable/plastic bowls, clay, tag board/poster board, thread and more.

All donations will go to Art with a Heart, Inc. Art with a Heart, Inc. provides art activities to disadvantaged families and children, and to people with developmental and physical challenges, at local shelters, senior centers, public schools and community centers.

Along the way, he's crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. He loves seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. He hopes to share some here.
