Banana Factory Yard Sale
In preparation for breaking ground on the new ArtsQuest Cultural Center in 2025, the Banana Factory will host several yard sales between now and the end of the year. Join us during First Fridays and on the final weekend of 2024 for great deals on a large variety of art supplies, equipment, furniture, décor, and everything else that we’ve accumulated over the last 25 years! All proceeds from the yard sales go toward the ReImagine That! Capital Campaign.
