Question

Does anyone have any tubes of acrylic paints- any colors, that they are willing to part with? My daughter is an Art student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The students can no longer access their studios and classes have gone to online (like everyone else). She has a ceramics class. She has new projects to try to create at home. Art stores are closed. I thought I would see if anyone had anything at home that she might be able to use. I’d be happy to pay you for it. Thank you.  

Answer 1

I have this unused set of gouache paints. Your daughter is welcome to have it if it works for any of her projects.

@neurogram59213 I think these would work well for my projects and would be a huge help to me. Thank you so much for your generosity- Allie (Phyllis’s daughter)

Answer 5

I was told Joann is doing curbside pickup

@haiphong817 They has to shut that down a few weeks ago.

@thermosphere a friend did a pickup a couple days ago so i think it must have opened back up

@haiphong817 it’s open I picked up today

That’s great to know! I ordered a ton of Easter stuff at the end of March and got an email telling new it was cancelled due to the store no longer offering pickup. I just got the last of the re-ordered items from FedEx yesterday.  

Answer 6

Any specific colors your daughter needs? Would any of these work? (Guessing the toddler glitter paint wouldn’t quite be on brand for a fancy Art Institute project! )

Answer 7

I thought hobby lobby was open?

@hokusai92432 they'd better not be. I saw that they were trying to ignore the shelter in place orders in other states, not sure if they tried pulling that crap here.
