It is INSANE to me that this level of artistry is not blasted everywhere in El Paso and beyond. I…read moreasked for small local businesses to help me find gifts for the upcoming holidays and y'all didn't disappoint. I wanted to have a family picture with particular shades to fill my living room. With Covid and toddlers we just kept pushing it off until Mini Artbox showed me her work. This is not just a photograph, it's art, and it's SO AFFORDABLE. It's less than what a photo session cost including the printed pictures and frame. Just ask and be surprised at the cost. We ordered a huge canvas and she worked with me over 2 days. I sent her over 10+ pictures at different times and dates and we worked together to choose the right pose and size and she hand blends, stencils, and paints it to life. ‍ She's taking commissions right now, and I hesitate to share, but it's SUCH a wonderful gift even when social distancing. I predict she'll be quite busy. https://www.facebook.com/miniartboxep/videos/3423935964367407/

The selection is still growing, and you can tell it's a startup, but that's part of the value: you don't have to drive across town for the basics they already carry. I picked up tongue depressors on my last visit and will be returning soon for epoxy resin. They also offer a small meeting room for rent at very reasonable rates. It's a convenient spot for small groups, craft meetups, or quick gatherings without the hassle of booking a big venue. There's plenty of parking, and the space is relatively handicap‑friendly, which makes it easy for more people to access. Honestly, if more of us crafters supported them, the selection would grow even faster. It's a solid local business with a lot of potential and worth backing as they continue to expand.

I very much enjoyed my visit and will return again soon. Ruth, the owner, is very kind, welcoming…read moreand helpful. I recommend this local gem to crafters and collectors. Thank you for making my experience a great one!
