Next up on the tour of NYC for Makers… In 1933 the first Pearl Art store was opened in New York city – their biggest store is actually 3 stores on and near Canal street in NYC. The art store, the frame store and the craft center. I’ve probably spent a few paychecks on supplies here, last year a lot on some fine tipped pens to draw on my laptop. It’s fun to spend a few hours there going up and down the creeky stairs, the entire place smells like art class from 3rd grade.

The art store has 5 floors: boxes, bags, inks, portfolios – paints, brushes, pastels – paper, sketchbooks, acetate – air brushes, light boxes and more… The craft center has an ok selection of things (beads, foam, some sewing) but the art store is where the action is at.
