O'BON Newspaper Wrapped Pencils at Beacon's Big Draw Tonight!
The Big Draw Gala Party on Saturday, January 28th is a night of live drawing, prix fixe art, music, food & drink, an open bar and many more festivities. The Drawing Rally will feature a pre-arranged select group of artists creating 11”x14” drawings while the party goes on around them. Revelers are invited to watch as the drawings are created at tables in the center of the exhibition space. As these drawings are completed, they will immediately be put up for sale on the wall for $75 each.
O'Bon L'Artiste newspaper pencil sets will be provided to the live drawing participants courtesy of Newburgh Art Supply. These pencils are environmentally friendly yet contain high quality smooth leads. The leads are protected from breakage thanks to the tightly wrapped recycled newspaper casing. The sets contain 10 pencils with a range from 2H through 8B.

To a Happy and Creative 2012!
As we surpass being in business for 3 and a half years we'd like to thank the local arts community for their patronage. We will be expanding our store in the coming months.
Remember we are here for you, to make it more convenient to pick up something to complete or start that next project at the last minute, to guide you with products that could get you out of that rut or to inspire a direction with a new material. We know most of you may do the bulk of your buying online, but you would be surprised that we carry things that sometimes are not very easy to find even out there on the world wide web. And although our prices may not be the lowest there are many items we carry that are lower than you can find anywhere.
By the same token we'd like you to continue to tell us what you'd like to see us carry. It is your suggestions that have stocked our store.

We Stock and Special Order Quality Wood Panels!
We've been carrying a limited stock of Old Wood Studio wood art panels since we opened, but recently we've had a surge in special orders. Apparently the chain art stores are starting to trade quality for their own "house" brands outsourced to that big country in the East. If you paint on wood, compare quality and ask us about our competitive pricing. Old Wood Studio makes Baltic birch faced panels 1/8" thick in all sizes, cradled (on Wisconsin basswood) and uncradled. We recently special ordered some larger panels that were cradled with 2" thick basswood, and braced with 8" corner braces and H middle braces. The workmanship is exceptional. Orders take about 7-10 days as everything's made to order. Our prices are very competitive- we pretty much beat any price out there when you add shipping to other sources' prices- and you can get any custom size you want.
We've Moved!
We're now at our new space at 5 Grand Street. One block away from the Liberty Street store, on the north side of Washington's Headquarters. Grand Street is one way from Washington Street. If you're coming from Broadway, go south on Liberty Street and make a left at the light, Washington Street. First left is Grand Street- 2nd building on left. There's parking in the rear, enter from the front.
