The Art Corner is an artist's paradise located right on the main drag as you enter Ely. We carry a wide variety of professional and student grade art and craft supplies. The Art Corner's goal is to inspire and nurture everyone's artist within through their motto "Be Creative, Think Young."
Visitors don't expect a town as small as Ely to have the depth of art and craft supplies that this store carries. The Art Corner has gained a reputation as being "the place" to get what you need from metal leafing to Arches watercolor sheets. It's where you can find brands like Golden, Daniel Smith, Princeton, Tim Holtz, and more.

Supporting the Development of Creativity by Laurel Bongiorno
This a great article regarding two very different types of art experiences, process art experience and product focused experience. As an artist and teacher, I always follow the process art experience because of the opportunities it gives the student (child or adult) to "explore the materials, think, express himself, and create". For the child, "process art experiences support many aspects of children's development.....it supports their creativity, enjoyment of art, thinking skills, and healthy development".
