Filling out the Google form is not required to make a donation.*
If you have specific supplies you’d like to donate in the future, please consider completing the form to be added to our contact list. For example, a potter could join the list to offer clay when an artist requests it. You can specify the materials you’re able to donate, and we’ll reach out to you as needs arise. This helps us connect artists with the supplies they need more efficiently.
