So when I am in a new area of a town, I google "art supplies" and pray for some relief from the tyranny of plastic and cake decorating, scrapbook paper and seasonal driftwood. So I found ArtPost in an unexpected place. A small dwelling type storefront with funky painted blue building and two doors... take the left. Inside you will find traditional and some on trend art supplies packed inside the small space like a european counterpart. If you are an artist or craftsperson, I don't believe you will be able to leave without something. p.s. they have some of the coolest japanese brush tip pens.

I did not realize this until I came here, but Art Post is one of the only few local art supply…read morestores (and I believe the only one downtown). I have used them twice now for private classes/team building projects and both time they were phenomenal. For far less money than what other chain art-creation-team-building-events asked, Art Post created a custom activity for our group and created a laid-back atmosphere that encouraged creativity but also socializing. I also observed a class with younger children and the teacher was patient and also encouraging of creativity with the kids. Overall, I was very impressed with their community outreach and artistic philosophy. They also host some really great outdoor markets on the weekend where you can find lots of great local art and music!

There are also plenty of line, grid, and dot notebooks of all sizes, as well as pens, pencils, markers, sketchpads, calendars, planners, to do lists..... I could go on, the selection here is amazing considering the size of the space. A little pricier than I would typically go for, but they had exactly what I was looking for and I love supporting local :)

See the pictures above to get an idea of the vibrant colors and patterns available here. I'm working on a quilt with a dozen totally different nutcracker appliques so the large selection of fat quarters was perfect since I didn't need yardage. Leslie is a jewel. My downfall has always been selecting coordinating colors and patterns but she is a master and because of the fabric I purchased here, my little nutcrackers are unique and this quilt will absolutely be my masterpiece.

MY UNBIASED OPINION -…read more This place was great. I love galleries that feature local artist. Everyone was nice. They had a few refreshments. The spirits were a low cost. They have events often. You can also rent this space out for events. This would be an awesome place to come. It's a cute date night as well. Walk about the city and stop in for a nice art experience. (Don't forget about the small upstairs gallery) Parking is on the street or in a nearby parking deck.

Note: this place is now called 5 Points Gallery. We've been visiting here ever since they opened…read moreand have even gotten to know some of the artists and have purchased several pieces in various sizes and price points. It's not a large space by any means (especially during the pandemic) but they feature all local art from paintings to multimedia, fused glass, and sculptures. When Durham used to have (and will have again one day) the Third Friday Art Walks, this was one of our regular stops. The art is mostly modern and lively. Tip: see if the upstairs gallery is open as well.
