Recently tried Neurographica w/ artist Eva Hunter. Wow- didn’t expect to gain clarity on a year-long question & insight into a family issue. It’s Drawing x Neuroscience, & it’s powerful stuff. Art can change your brain! We have some workshops coming up!

Never a dull moment at The Art Store! For today (maybe for tomorrow? Who knows!) we ask that you enter from the Burnet/Crouse side. Ongoing construction will make our city even more fabulous, but it's a pain in the booty while it's happening!

In the face of rising prices, we are starting an aggressive campaign of LOWERING prices whenever/however we can. We are passing the savings on to you, our customers. This is not a "THIS WEEK ONLY" deal- this is a NEW LOW PRICE.
