Art Pocket SJ

we are a mobile operation — meaning we are still looking for our permanent home! You can find art supplies at QCorner and LGBTQ Wellness. We pop-up at different locations each month for our events, so follow us on instagram!

Art Pocket is a decentralized mutual aid group dedicated to redistributing wealth and resources to all members of San Jose. Artists from marginalized communities cannot begin to be represented in the art world without radical change. We hold monthly crafting events or free art supply swaps. Art Pocket is radical, political, and not your kids’ new craft club. Art Pocket is about supporting knowledgable local artists and building community based on their needs.
