An adorable little shop along Main Street, a stone's throw from the Olympic Museum. I was shopping…read morefor memorabilia and souvenirs to commemorate my visit to the Olympic City and found lots of it here. Not just tshirts and hats and other clothing items, but they have posters and postcards and maple syrup and such. So much to choose from and I thought the prices were reasonable.

I recently attempted to purchase a large amount of materials for an upcoming exhibit, planning to…read morespend a budget of millions. Instead of purchasing online or from a bigbox art retailer I opted to visit Black Horse, as they are one of few remaining independent art stores in the area. I arrived at the shop 45 minutes after opening as I am on strict time contraints at all time, I have to work out of efficiency. But when I arrived the shop keeper told me that I had to be quick or come back at a later point in the day. His excuse was that he had to remove his car from the snow. But mind you this was around 11AM, and this shop keeper should not be dealing with personal matters during business hours. Regardless I told him that I needed quite a bit of material and he informed me that I still should be fast, go back later, or visit another retailer. He should have seen my desire to spend a money in his shop as a means of paying for his snow removal. Unfortunately he rushed me out of there. This put a stick in the wheel of my entire exhibit's time table, as I had to travel a great distance of time waiting for an online order. All I have to say is that I will never be taking my money to this business, nor will I be recommending this business to anyone ever. Shame on this place, and the shop keeper I dealt with, the customer should always come first.

When you're new in town, it can sometimes take a while to find your favorite spots and for those…read morespots to feel like home. This was not exactly the case for me and Black Horse Art Supply. The minute I walked in the door, I knew I had found my art supply shop. After checking out all of the box stores, as can be the initial go-to when re-orienting in a new town, I was feeling a bit let down. I mean, here is this beautiful city saturated with artists and all I could find was overpriced canvas and incomplete color offerings. I knew there had to be something better and after some more digging, I came across this little shop on Pine Street. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable about all things 'art'. As an active member in the artist community, he is totally in-tune with local events and if you do happen to stump him with a question, he can point you in the right direction. I feel lucky to have found a place to go when the creativity strikes and happy to share it with new and seasoned artists alike.
