Friendly Knowledgeable Staff and Vancouver Island's Best Selection of Art Supplies
"Firstly, the service is incredible. Small first time customer yet I felt like I mattered. All questions answered, products demonstrated, and all with no pressure sales. What I wanted was what I purchased. Not something I didn't want or need.
Second, the amount of stock was impressive. Looking forward to my future artistic journey with these folks!"
Cory Schreyer

"This place absolutely whips. It's my favourite art store period, and my favourite store in Nanaimo. The stock is priced so well that it's shocking, they have a tremendous amount of stuff packed very efficiently into a small space. The employees are lovely and very helpful. A total gem."
