A true gem of an art supply store. This is the kind of store that, as an artist, I walk into an feel instantly inspired. Like a kid in a candy shop. Lots of unique items for sale. The prices are good and the owner is lovely and sells a little bit of everything. His store has been in Brookland since the 1970s, around the same time the beloved Murry & Pauls diner opened. Definitely worth the visit.

I wish I could say something positive about this establishment and I would if I had not left a painting of mine there to be sold with the owner only to drop in a month or so later to find out it was sold and i was not notified nor did I receive a fair cut of whatever it was sold for! I was told he forgot to call me, forgot who he sold it to and how much he sold it for...what does that sound like to you!!!

This place is fantastic! Ive lived in DC my entire life and have yet to find an art store whose atmosphere I enjoy more. The store offers a wide selection of affordable art supplies, including an art gallery with paintings up for sale. The owner is also extremely kind and helpful. I 100% recommend this place the next time youre shopping for art supplies!

Just an amazing locally owned business with highly knowledgeable and welcoming proprietor and staff. Highly recommend this store.

Unique art store, unfortunately did not have a large diversity of supplies but overall was a good experience.

This is a Brookland institution that has been in the neighborhood since 1972. The owner is very nice, and the atmosphere is electric. This is not a fancy store with fluorescent lights and cookie cutter labels on each product. This place has soul. Every turn is an adventure. You may never know what treasure you may find, or what will inspire you. THIS is an Art store.

It is an amazing experience and a beautiful store more people should go it is worth every dollor. The owner is so nice.

The friendly and knowledgeable elder proprietor has owned this store for decades, and I will go out of my way to shop here.
