Biography

A visit to the NSCAD Art Supply Store in Granville Mall is always a journey of fun, discovery, and function. Staff and customers often share information about classes, tricks of the trade, and arts-related events in the city. There’s also an area in the store where local artists can leave their business cards, or promote their events. While the store is mainly here to stock what is needed for the NSCAD students, the public is also welcome and other shoppers – tourists and city residents – can wander in more often for inspiration, gifts, and networking in the arts community!
