Central Art Store Update

 

During these uncertain times, one thing has become abundantly clear: creativity has no pause button! A tremendous increase in home-based projects means people need to re-stock their art supplies. We are so happy to see so many of you taking this time to explore your art and to share it!

 

We share your passion for art and have been busy filling curb-side and delivery orders, which help you continue to do art and encourage others to join in the process.

 

Starting the week of May the 4th, we are going to implement a “soft opening” of Central Art and along with that comes:

 

– New expanded store hours:

10am – 5pm Mon. – Fri., and

10am – 4pm Sat., CLOSED Sun.

Framing hours: Noon-5pm Mon.-Fri. and Noon-4pm Sat.

– Phone Orders, Curbside Pick Up, and Deliveries are still available and encouraged.
