• Choose the materials you wish to use, and do your best to keep materials on the table.
• When you are finished, you can leave the materials neatly on the craft tables. You can put them away if you are sure you know where you got them, but, seriously, it’s okay to leave things on the table for us to put away.

Donations

We accept donations of crafting supplies, and working craft tools such as sewing machines. Otter Chaos organizes and cleans the materials for use and for sale in our store.

Otter Chaos

We organize the crafting goodies.

Some are sellable and available in the Otter Chaos store. Others are saved for free use on Mondays. We are a NON-NONprofit store but 100% of profits made from the sale of donated crafting materials and crafts made by Craftaholics go to the Mimbres Arts Council, specifically The Youth Mural Program.

The Youth Mural Program

The Youth Mural Program located in Grant County, is a visually dynamic program that engages young people and teaches them about the history and culture of their community, while providing artistic jewels throughout the area. The program has been a huge success, with over 70 murals created on the sides of buildings, on the risers of high sidewalks, and on long-blocked-in windows in Silver City, Gila, Bayard, and Santa Clara.
