Art Drop partnerships secured: Plaid Crafts pledges kits, SIFA to donate materials for supply swap
Summary
Staff announced Plaid Crafts will donate 100 art kits and SIFA will contribute supplies to an art-supply swap timed with Art Drop (starts the week of the 18th); staff sought Spanish-speaking volunteers and high-school helpers.
Liaison Tanisha reported several new partnerships that expand Art Drop activities. She said Plaid Crafts (Peachtree Corners) "committed to donating a 100 art kits," and described a "craft bar" promotion at Plaid's offices. Tanisha also said SIFA in Chamblee will collect and donate yarn, fibers and tools for an art-supply swap timed to coincide with Art Drop's start (staff indicated the swap date aligns with the event week beginning Saturday the 18th/19th).
Tanisha asked commissioners to help recruit volunteers, particularly Spanish-speaking helpers and high-school students, to staff the swap and Skillshare tables. Commissioners suggested outreach partners (Scraplanta/Scraplana variants mentioned) and cross-municipal partnerships with Doraville to increase capacity. Staff said they will continue outreach to finalize volunteers and logistics.
