Donation Drive for Our Lending Library 📚

Calling all packrats! Do you have any art supplies, books, or magazines gathering dust in the corner of your studio? Did you inherit a collection that you’ll never get to using? Did you buy a giant floor loom thinking that this was the year you’d finally get into weaving only to leave it untouched for half a decade?

If this oddly specific scenario (or the more general one) applies to you, keep reading!

ArtsLink NB is organizing our first donation drive for the lending library! Our lending library provides members with free rentals of books and equipment to help their artistic careers. We have over 500 books and 30 pieces of equipment, but we’re looking to expand.

Documentation equipment (cameras, lights, tripods, recorders, etc)
