Apparently Pearl Paint (EDIT: Pearl Arts & Crafts in Central Square) is closing up shop and has a massive sale this weekend. Dunno.. I always go underground across the street for my art supply needs since they are just *nicer* people and have what I need. Still, never like to see a business fold, esp. one providing means and tools. Wish there were more and varied of those around - but it is a tough business climate (SPARK, etc.).

What is the "across the street" place -- Utrecht?

No. It's a basement store called something like Artist Supply; it's pretty much directly across the street and, I think, independent.

this. right next to the dollar store, and since it's downstairs, has no store front. They don't have the selection of Pearl (well, they have a third the floor space), but their prices have always been better and the people there want to know what you're working on. They're very helpful.

It's a New England chain. I met the owner once, I think he started in Portland, Maine.

It's called Artist and Craftman Supply, and it's at 580 Mass Ave.
