the big idea

The Art Table was a place where community members could pick up free art projects, kits, and supplies to do at home. These are great for kids, families, and anyone who wants to get creative and work with their hands. Kits are lovingly assembled by a project leader and a team of crafty volunteers.

The Art Table partnered with the Monadnock Food Coop and ReCreate to host a table of kits and art supplies. ReCreate is a collections drop off for craft supplies, recycleable and repurposable materials, and more.

The Art Table partnered with the Peterborough Town Library to host Curbside Crafts, which also provides free art supplies and kits and pairs them with library books and reading recommendations - fiction and nonfiction.

The Art Table has been inactive since the end of 2022. It was a project born of the COVID 19 pandemic lockdowns and times of solitude. We are so grateful for the volunteers, partners, and more who made distributing free art kits possible!
