ART SUPPLIES AVAILABLE/NEEDED:

Do you have any brushes, paints, art supplies that you don't need or want?  Don't throw them away!  Art teachers in Caldwell County schools need them!  Please drop these by the arts council office or contact the art teacher at the school in your neighborhood and we can help find a home for your unneeded art supplies.

Foil is available in various colors and widths (3' - 5' rolls) from Neptco (near the Education Center on Highway 321).  There is a continuous supply, so stop in any day 8am-4:30pm and ask for their end-rolls.

Windows are available in consistent supply from Mike Coffey.  He says he typically throws away about 500 a year!  If you can use these for painting, crafting, or building greenhouses, etc., call him at 828-217-2435 and he'll be happy to supply you with these.
