After over a year of carrying a curated selection of art supplies, you may have noticed that we are starting to have monthly sales. And that is directly because of you - our customer. By purchasing local, we are financially in a place where we can offer sales on a regular basis - woohoo!

Last month we had 20% off preprimed stretched canvas, masonite boards, and panels. This month is 20% off all of our instock sketchbooks, paper pads/blocks, fudenosuke pens, AND Pigma Micron pens! This also includes our highest end paper - Arches. 😍 Check out our front window display when you are downtown to see the full range of products on sale.

Most of us who work here are artists as well, so we know the joy of art supplies on sale.

For those of you who have already signed up, please make sure that we are not in your spam folder, especially Gmail users.
