Supplies Drop Off

Are you an artist, crafter, or business with extra materials? Or maybe you have a few odds and ends hanging around for that perfect project? If so, we would love to take them off your hands for our Summer Camp and Art and Nature programs! Check back on this page to see what we are looking for or contact Coreen Thornhill, our Public Programs Manager, to see if we might be interested.

Donations can be dropped off at the Leighton Art Centre Gallery Shop during open hours, Tuesday to Sunday (10 am to 4 pm). Please note: if you have a large volume of materials, or if you’re not sure about your donation, please contact us first. We have limited storage space.
