"Flights of Fancy".
This show is open to Artists of all ages and any Media.What we are looking for is a variety of
fantasy, surreal, abstract or otherwise unique art,
that will show the enormous range and imagination of our artistic customers.This subject should also fit in well with October, and we hope that you would bring some of the most
creative Halloween costume pieces
you have made with products we sell in the store, like a papier-mache' mask for example.

New Information about OPEN Acrylics

Golden Artists Colors has produced some very helpful and informative You Tube videos regarding the uses and applications of their new OPEN Acrylic slow drying product line.
There is one which shows how to use the mediums to make your OPEN Acrylic paints last even longer, and another that shows how the absorbancy of the substrate will effect the drying time of these paints.
Golden Acrylic Company is an American made line of paint and (in our opinion), one of the better lines of acrylics around, since that is all they do! We hope that you can benefit from some of the videos they have made available.
