Art Supply Thrift Shop

take what you’ll use, pay what you can

Let’s save creative materials from the landfill and get them
in the hands of creatives!

Shop the thrift

Everything in the art supply thrift shop is take what you’ll use, pay what you can (we mean it!). We know that everything will balance out in the end. It’s exciting to see the magic of offering an opportunity like this for creatives because it takes the financial pressure off creating! We want you to have fun and try new materials without breaking your bank. We have bags for you to shop with but feel free to bring your own. Our HQ in Stewartsville is up a flight of stairs and our High Bridge location is on the ground floor.

Donate new or gently used art supplies

Please review our “yes please and no thank you” list below! You can bring donations any time you visit the studio. If you are bringing a large donation please contact us to set up an appointment at propagatestudionj@gmail.com

If you have a loved one who has passed or are just looking to clear out your art drawer that no longer serves you, we are here to help! Whenever you bring a donation of supplies to the studio you are welcome to take items in exchange for what you brought or still make a payment to support our mission. We are not a non profit so we cannot offer any tax forms for your donations.

We love seeing how the supplies from our donors change the lives of the artists buying them. It’s such an incredible cycle!

Outposts

We are opening up outposts all over the state! We heard you loud and clear in wanting a thrift near you so we are constantly working on opening up outposts across the state (and maybe beyond!) Take a look at our current outpost locations, their donation times, and their host shops! If you own a shop and would like to partner please contact Sam at propagatestudionj@gmail.com.
