Independent Art Stores

Creating art is a tactile experience. Shopping for art supplies should be too.

There’s nothing like walking into a real life art supply store and discovering aisles of inspiration. Roam is always searching for independent art supply stores around the country (and the world) that provide a thoughtfully curated experience for artists. And now we’re sharing what we’ve found with everyone. We truly appreciate their independent spirit and effort in providing a brick and mortar oasis in this online world’s widening art supply desert and we hope you do too.

If you don’t see your favorite independent art store on this list, drop us a line and we’ll add it for everyone to find.
