So first I want to preface by saying with package #3 of 6, I am not satisfied with the Delaware Contemporary Art Take Out 6 month subscription for $130. When I saw what fellow blogger Claudia McGill made way back in February I thought it was very cool and hoped each box would be of the same caliber. I now realize that this is aimed primarily at non creatives and/or children. The occasional free art supplies are cool and I will make more of these off the top of my head poems placed in various locations perhaps the next on my car ๐ but once this subscription runs it’s course I won’t renew.
If you could create a subscription box
Ike this for creatives, what would you include?

I really don’t know, I never thought into it. I guess being paired with styles of work in the exhibits, more of a prompt on creating like the featured artist. It just comes across as simple or let’s dumb it down for people. I don’t know. It’s just not for me. If they had multiple approaches to the subscription it might be more of an interest. I just feel they are trying too hard to be all inclusive.

I get it… but itโs fun to think about what to put in a box to spark imagination or creativity

Well I guess I would put the exhibit the idea is paired with as it already is but really go into more depth and detail and if it’s fine art, a style if it’s poetry like this..offer examples of poetic styles.

To be fair, I don’t think I’d quite taken in the $130 price tag before now! ๐ณ๐ค

Maybe not.
But thinking back on the contents previous boxes plus this one I think we can all agree it’s not quite been worth the money ๐ฌ๐ค

Eh on the contrary..if they are going by 130รท6 that’s about $21 a box…So seems about right, I suppose but at the same I could get quality supplies at discount as well, the whole concept just feels disjointed and dumbed down.

Definitely the right decision not to continue then. Just means you can start searching for something else! ๐๐ค

$21.66 per box, less shipping… meh.
I’m fortunate to live near enough to Art Supply Warehouse to purchase online art classes + supplies for a good price!
