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.).

Post a late night insomnia-blurred post and wake up to 25+ email comments. lol.

Anyway, thought I would pass it on since there are so many arts-oriented people around here. Pearl stocked many things Artist & Craftsman doesn't (arts + crafts stuff, airbrush stuff, full line of Golden paint, etc) so it was always a good second choice when looking for stuff. The decline seemed to start a few years ago when they gave up the 2nd floor, restocking seemed sketchy.

Ah well.

For the record, I think that information about non-local places are relevant to the David Square community if the non-local places are places that the locals go often, or go because there isn't anything else like it locally.

In other words, because Davis Square itself doesn't have a big art/craft supply store, the closest ones to David are important to us.

So thanks!
