Best of Boston

Muses nonwithstanding, the Art Store sells everything your magnum opus needs, and at prices that won’t leave the artist in you starving. Forget rummaging through piles of 200 pre-stretched canvases to find the size you want; it’s all neatly ordered against the wall. Every shade of paint—oil, acrylic, watercolor, you name it—is represented, and the paper selection runs from handmade, violet-embedded sheets to plain foam core. Like to sit while you sketch? There’s furniture here too, plus easels and mesh file boxes. Come to think of it, the large, open, and neatly arranged space may just inspire you after all—to organize your studio.
