UPDATE: We have found someone to take the whole lot of frames with the glass, but we have more deframing to do so if you are still interested let me know, I will reach out to you once we have more available! ✨💖✨

We have a giant box of frames (no glass) that we are wanting to donate for art projects. We have to reframe most items to keep them in folders, as it is the best archival practice, which is why we have so many. I estimate roughly 150 or so frames. We would *love* for someone to take them all, so if you or someone you know is interested please reach out here or email Sabrina at [email protected].

The glass is boxed up safely to be disposed of but if someone wants all the frames they can have the glass as well!

If you weren’t able to attend one of our events in the last two weeks, we have two more vault tours that we added in due to demand—tickets are available in the comments below.
