The Siskiyou County Arts Council is launching our Art DROP program, creating a series of free art supply share stations in the most remote communities in Siskiyou County.

Based on the ‘little free library’ model, Art DROP supply stations will provide a fun, free, and accessible space to share and discover art supplies and projects in communities that have significantly lower regular access to the tools of creative practice.

Carrying through organizational values in our programming, the DROP in Art DROP is an acronym for discover, re-source, offer, and practice and will help rebuild the deeply rural but waning practice of repurposing and resourcefulness (i.e. making what you need from what you have on hand).

SCRAPS video content will provide facilitated art programming to complement Art DROP supply caches. Retired newspaper vending machines will be transformed into Art DROP stations after being decorated by local artists transforming the vending machines into both public works of art and designated stations in communities to retrieve, deposit, and share art supplies.
