A Day of Creativity and Community
On the top floor of GOMA, the studio was transformed into a bustling hub of activity. Attendees from all walks of life filled the space with excitement and energy. The swap was a grand success, with participants eagerly sifting through an incredible array of art supplies. From digital and video cameras to photo enlargers, paints, textiles, and a diverse selection of paper and fabrics, the event offered something for everyone.
Families, artists, crafters, and creators alike flocked to the studio, each person leaving with bags brimming with new materials and tools. The diversity of items and the sheer volume of exchanges underscored the community’s enthusiasm for both creativity and sustainability. It was heartening to see such a wide range of individuals coming together to share, recycle, and repurpose art supplies.
A Heartfelt Thanks to GOMA
