Truly the art staple store of Greenville. If you are in an art class, this is where you will likely end up. Wide varieties of most mediums, prices are in line with market prices and some are well below. Also great for house paint

Love this place. I get most of my paint supplies there. They close at 6pm… and I work until 6pm. That’s my only complaint, but they are worth the wait.
