Arts Junktion in Winnipeg - perfect for all crafters!

If you love arts and crafts, make sure to check out Arts Junktion in the Exchange.

It’s a neat system – they accept donations and then you can go shop there by donation also. No items are priced, you weight your purchases at the end and then donate what you think is a good amount.

We went earlier this summer for the first time, it’s quite a large place and it’s a huge variety of items. The picture is what my daughter chose – a huge cardboard tube, so really good art paper and then some old menus. She repurposed the drink/dessert menu’s into art books since they had several pages. The large menus became frames for more artwork.

They update their facebook page often with new items they have in – they had a lot of paper, yarn, material, random items and pretty much everything else you can think of for crafting.

They also offer all kinds of workshops and events – all types of things too, so not set on one art style.

Their hours vary seasonally so it’s a good idea to double check before you go on their site.

It’s a great place to donate to if you’re cleaning out your craft items, or have some stuff that would be great for different kinds of projects too.

It’s a neat place to check out – amazing to see so many items being reused and repurposed and finding a new home. A good idea for some projects for the winter. And the fact that it’s by donation makes it affordable for all – it was neat to see kids getting to choose whatever they wanted as we walked around. They do have signs saying to only take what you’ll use, not to hoard items which is great too, just in case.
