Resources (free resources)

August 26th, 2007 admin Posted in Art, The Process |

Part of the process of creating is finding resources. Most artists must be savvy in this regard due to income limitations. That is what I am here to tell you about two places to find free stuff.

The first one is Freecycle. It uses Yahoo! groups to manage posting of free items that people in your town have. I have found Freecycle to be a good place to find items I could not otherwise afford and also to find homes for items that would be harder to sell via classified ads but I did not want to throw away. The place to get started is www.freecycle.org.

Craigslist is the other site for unloading and finding free things. There is a free category in the site’s “for sale” column. I have not used that one myself but I know people who have had success with it. www.craigslist.org is the main site and click here for the Fort Collins “free” section.
