Overall the store and items are fun and very useful and beautiful- if I didn’t have the experience i had I would financially invest into the store. However if you are a professional artist of color or coming from a different area (I.e metropolitan) I do not recommend selling your artwork here or investing your money. It was very unclear directions, lack of professionalism by showing up to meetings on time and unwelcoming environment with too much midwest “niceness” not the “charm”. If the process was clearer and a system put in place would really be helpful but I ended up crying and feeling highly uncomfortable. I do not think they are rascist at all however have an opportunity to be more culturally competent and sensitive towards people not from the area.I really hope eventually they get some diversity training because everywhere else in grand Maria’s did not make me feel that way even when I experienced micro aggressions which I could tell was just lack of exposure.Updated response from message from joy and company:Hello thank you for responding- it is not a specific culture ma’am it is having some competency as it can be seen in your response is an opportunity for you. None of this specific information of what you wanted it to look like was provided. For example creating a simple checklist that you send over once you approve artists that way they know what you are looking for and communication was clear- if you thought my artwork didn’t fit your area you could have also just told me that then to agree and it’s not what you wanted.I wish you the best and hope others do not have the experience I had because it was a really beautiful store just clearer professional communication is needed.

Walked in, no greeting. I noticed other people were IMMEDIATELY greeted and with a very cheerful "hello"Walked BY the register, nothing. The people BEFORE and AFTER me were also acknowledged. How light does one need to be? ? brown, keep walking by. Light gets a "hi"

The wonderful women at this store went out of their way for me after I purchased the wrong item in error. Even tho they have a no returns policy they really helped me out and saved my shopping trip. I really enjoy this store and the goods they offer

I tend to dabble in a lot of crafts and this store was an amazing surprise. I walked in expecting it to just be a fun gallery of local art and walked into a an immersive art haven. They have supplies for a painting, sketching, print making, inking and collage making and way more. They also allow your children to color with chalk on the floors whilst you are looking and the staff are very kind.
