We (Simon and Sandra) started our business back in 2002. At the time there was no dedicated art store in the Invercargill / Southland area and we could see the need for a supplier of quality artists' materials.
We wanted our store to be a welcoming, friendly place where artists of all ages and abilities could get the products they need with good advice and good prices, and be a point of contact to other artists within the community. The support from our customers has been amazing and it is wonderful to see new generations coming in with as much enthusiasm as their parents and grandparents.
Our shelves are stocked with high quality brands such as Winsor & Newton, Daler Rowney, Chroma, Liquitex, Faber-Castell, Royal Talens, Fabriano, Arches, Sennelier, Taut-Art, Canson and Staedtler. As well as student quality brands like Reeves, Das, Fas, Jasart and Five Star, plus many more.
