I took my sister, who was visiting from out of town, and the staff couldn't have been nicer! They answered all of her questions and got her what she needed. I will definitely visit again.

Wow! I don't know how I didn't know about this place before. Amazing art store! My creative senses were in overlord but in a good way. I wish they had a store on the East side, it's not a huge drive from New Baltimore but it's not a quick run up to the store. I'll be back for sure!!
