Artist Supply Closet
Supporting creativity through shared resources.
Shared Resources
Shared supplies can spark new creative work
The Artist Supply Closet gives artists, community members, and partners a way to share unused or leftover art supplies with RAC. Donated materials help support RAC’s teaching programs, arts education experiences, and creative programs for people of all ages.
Artists are welcome to contact RAC to schedule a time to stop by, look through available supplies, and take materials they can put to use in their own creative practice.

For Artists
Schedule a time to look through available supplies
The Artist Supply Closet is intended to support creativity through shared resources. Artists may reach out to schedule a time to stop by and look through the supplies RAC currently has available for creative practice, workshops, projects, or community-based work.
Availability will depend on donated materials, program needs, storage capacity, and current inventory. Please contact RAC before visiting so staff can confirm availability and coordinate a pickup time.
Supplies received through the Artist Supply Closet are provided at no cost for creative use and are not intended for resale. By taking supplies, artists agree to use the materials for their own creative practice, workshops, teaching, community projects, or related artmaking purposes.
Schedule a Supply VisitProgram Impact
Every brush, canvas, marker, and sheet of paper can help creativity continue.
Donated supplies help RAC stretch program resources, support teaching artists, bring hands-on art experiences to more participants, reduce waste, and make creative materials more accessible across Riverside County.
