Bonham, Texas -- The Creative Arts Center is excited to announce that they will be having second annual Creative Reuse Sale the week of May 12-16.
Creative Reuse Stores are popping up all over our state and country. These are thrift stores that specialize in arts and crafts supplies. These stores help keep these supplies out of the landfills and are a great source of lower cost supplies for artists. While the local art center does not have the space or staff to manage a Creative Reuse Store, they are excited to devote one week to having a sale in May 2026.
The local nonprofit art center will have two drop off days on May 12 & 13, where folks can bring their gently used arts and crafts supplies to donate. Then they will have three days of sales on May 14-16. The sale will be open to the public and located inside the art center at 200 W 5th in historic downtown Bonham.
“This event will help folks in our community clean out and declutter their stash of art supplies they no longer need and provide an alternative to throwing them in the landfill.” Said Sandy Barber, center director. “This event will also help local creatives get low-cost art supplies while raising needed funds for our art center. Sounds like a win-win-win situation to us.”
