It's been locally owned since the 1950's and their inventory and services respond to us locals which is really a switch from nationally or franchised owned companies/businesses. You actually are offered what you want and need. They also have an online catalog, art classes, and picture and photo framing and more. My parents really appreciated them and made good use of their supplies since they moved to Las Vegas in the 1970's. I have known the owner since I started needing architectural and art supplies, while attending UNLV in the 2000's. They have been a constant and reliable resource for me and anyone I direct to them. Support this great business as it gives back in spades.

Vegas isn't always obvious with where to find the good stuff in terms of art. As with most cities,…read moreuniversities tend to have well-run art spaces that exhibit some relatively decent work. Donna Beam is no exception. This space often exhibits work from its MFA students as well as emerging artists from all over. The two-story gallery makes for very interesting exhibits. When I visited in November 2018, the exhibit ¡Americanx! was up featuring artists from the Latin art community in Vegas. You can't get more local than that! The gallery was filled with diverse pieces from selected artists that had previously been students at UNLV in addition to other emerging Latin artists. Being a gallery, you can expect this space to change its programming frequently. So be sure to check the calendar and see what's coming up next.

In fact that new slogan they are testing out,…read moresomething like are you hiding your Vegas or whatever is actually fitting, because Vegas hides from Vegas!! The Donna Beam is a small gallery on the UNLV campus, and if you get connected with its schedule, you can always find a new exhibition from a really great young art department. I have spend many Friday nights hanging out at openings here. If you search out things in Vegas, they will appear, like the Donna Beam!

This is probably BC's biggest weekend event of the year.

I think this is my favorite of our annual events and that's saying a lot, because BC knows how to party.

This is my first year back at this annual craft/art fair out in Boulder City, NV since 2017…read more Oh my how it has grown since the last time I was here. This artsy affair now takes up four parks. More booths filled with all kinds of creative crafts. A long aisle of your favorite snack food awaits you plus if you need a drink, beer and cocktails can be purchased. This year the weather was perfect and so many people came out. I always make sure to look for my favorite artists and make a purchase from them. It's a great place to pick up early Christmas gifts for friends or family. In addition there is so much Halloween, Fall, Thanksgiving and Christmas decor to consider purchasing. Boulder City is easy to reach from the 11 freeway and takes you about 30-45 minutes to get to when you live in Las Vegas. Parking is on the street as I noticed they no longer seem to offer the shuttle service. A fun way to spend a Sunday Funday!

I have gone through Vegas Painting Parties for some fun painting events three times now. Each time…read morehas been a lot of fun and I have come away with a nice finished piece that I can be proud of. First was a jellyfish scene painted at Streets Of New York in the Centennial area of town. Next came a wave painting at Painted Desert Golf course. Both of those were from the same artist instructor. I think her name is Colleen? Apologies to her if I am mistaken. Whatever her name, she is a lot of fun and gives good clear instructions to the class. She can get going a little fast at times but if you simply ask her to slow down or repeat what she just said she will. Don't let her tattoos intimidate you. Finally, today I went to one more event at The Palm restaurant at the Forum Shops at Ceasars Palace. This time we painted palm trees at sunset. This class was from Erika, the owner I think. It was an easy painting to complete. Simple yet elegant. Erika showed a great deal of patience with all the many questions and people expressing disappointment in their finished art. I would lose my cool but that is why I am not a teacher. Vegas Painting Parties has some of the best paintings to learn that I have seen around the valley. And they encourage people to be different. Every finished work is the sole creation of each artist with a little guidance. Each has its own flare and style. Some display a higher skill than others but all are a personal experience and nobody can take that away. I look forward to seeing what else I can create with them. Each time I do I develop my skills a little more to apply to my own wholly original works.

I had been to a painting party with my friends and thought it was tons of fun, so when another…read moreGroupon popped up I bought it for my mom and I to do together. We finally booked our painting party for today at Nacho Daddy's. I actually really enjoy having it located in a restaurant. Easier to order food and get refills. We had a private room and I enjoyed the fact that it wasn't too overbooked. We had plenty of room to spread out and paint. My mom and I ordered some nachos to share. Service from Nacho Daddy's was better than our previous visits, which I was pleased by. Our instructor was very friendly. She wasn't too concerned about details about painting. She gave us basic instructions and let us have a little more free reign to let our creative juices flow. The three hours went by very quickly and it was lots of fun. Next time I will try to pick a painting that is a little less intricate as everyone seemed to have a hard time keeping up with the difficulty level. I was still surprised by how well our paintings came out, but make sure you check out all the options on their web site before booking your appointment. You can pick based on painting. You can book private parties and there are also child's painting parties that are available. Definitely worth it for a nice relaxing outing.

What really sets this place apart is not only the outstanding design expertise, but also the consistently high-quality products offered at very fair prices. You truly feel like you're getting premium results without being overcharged. Nancy, the owner, is simply incredible. She treats you like a friend, not just a customer. You can genuinely feel how much she cares about getting things right for you. Her advice is thoughtful, honest, and clearly comes from deep experience and passion. She takes the time to understand your needs and ensures every decision delivers both beauty and value. It's rare to find a business that combines exceptional service, top-quality products, and real value at a fair price--but this is it. The level of care, design guidance, and overall experience is second to none. This is the only place we'll go from now on. Highly recommend! Oops almost forgot the Master BR and Beautiful family room.

First time in and was greeted by a woman who asked if I needed help with anything!…read more Amazing I didn't because I was just there to look around but as soon as I walked in, to be greeted like that is GREAT. I found some Stonewall Kitchen merchandise right around the corner and of course I bought a couple Jars, one for a Christmas gift and one for a friend. (Blueberry was the one for the friend) They had Christmas and Halloween Decor but were just getting around to the Christmas stuff so the Halloween stuff was discounted, in fact so were the Jams I bought, 25% off! I was greeted by another woman who welcomed me into the store.... and then a man and then another woman behind the counter, all very friendly and asked if I needed any help, I was pretty amazed by this because some stories you go in and are ignored.... They had diffusers and oils and candles, usually my thing but spendy, around $45 for a single candle up to $60 and not knowing if the brand has a good throw or not when lit makes me hesitant to buy, I am sure for that price it would mind you but again, not knowing for sure..... that is a lot to spend...PM me though if you have tried any and they have excellent throws, I will go back this weekend and buy a couple (Thanks) All in all, I would go back because they were adding more items and Id like to see what they add next. Thanks so much for such a great welcome for this first time customer!
