Love this shop always has the supplies I need and the staff is great! Thank you Allison

This place is an artist's dream. Their selection easily outmatches any of that in art stores in the Twin Cities, both in terms of variety in things sold/variants of those things. Think walls and walls of every kind of pen, brush, marker, pencil, paint, sketchbook, paper, and specialty artesan tool you can think of. I personally use a variety of professional level tools for my art business, including Jaquard Lumiere paints, Tombow brush pens, and Japanese Micron pens.

I have never been to a store that had not only all of these tools in those high-quality brands, but every single kind of them, en masse, and in good shape. I have found stores with my obscure Jaquard fabric paints in the Twin Cities, but only in less than five colors and they were dried up husks. Joy & Company had an entire rack of every imaginable shade, in variants of metallic, Neopaque, and other shades.

Add on to that an entire wall of more paints, all them clearly not dried up and well-kept. The dream doesn't end here either. Relive younger days of drawing in satisfying colors with their huge and varied rack of Gelly Roll gel pens. Delve into the walls and walls of markers and Faber Castell products. Flip through the large variety of lined, watercolor, and other sketchbooks. Drool over the college-class quality acrylic paints.

I could go on forever. Did I mention there is also an antique shop within this artist's haven? They have an online shop, which I know I'll be taking advantage of. Don't let the perhaps unassuming look of this shop on the outside fool you. If you're either a fledgling or professional artist, you will find joy here.

Loved the art supply options, collection of completed local art / artisan crafts and vintage collectibles. Dog friendly - my girl loved the lamb treat.

I've been shopping here for 7 years and they just keep getting better and better! Now they have a wonderful new website where I can get most of the cool stuff in the store in Grand Marais, but really I still like going in there for the fun of looking at everything!

Art supplies and old and new crafts. Antique clothing. Every room in a delight. Put on a vinyle record in the lounge (you have to find it first) and than pick out some Action Comics post cards. Nice way to spend the morning.

This store is a delightful mix of antiques and art. The building, which is an old Chevy dealership has been transformed into a wonderful creative space, with not just art for sale, but with opportunities to make art. Inside is the lunch counter of an old ice cream parlor, chalk to color on the floor, an amazing mosaic and so much more. The folks that work there are the artists themselves. It is a funky, fun, place to visit.

We stop here each time we visit Grand Marais. It is fun to browse their vintage collection as well as all the little sections that display handmade goods by local artisans. They also have a large selection of art supplies which is worth checking out.

So many different artists sell unique items at this store. It was a fun place to browse. I was able to purchase unique gifts. They had a ton of vintage items too, that was fun to look at. It'll be worth it to go back in the future because it's always changing.

Your typical "antique" place.so lots of the standard stuff.but with a twist.themed rooms and areas, and someworks from local artists set it apart an it from the average.
