Upwards Art Studio needs your help! We still have hundreds of river rocks in our front windows that need to be painted! Bring the kiddos and use acrylic paint markers to decorate rocks. We are a fully stocked art supply store located in the heart of the Owen Sound River District. Find materials for painting, printing, sculpting, drawing, and more! We even have a large selection of Crayola products for the young and young-at-heart. We have lots of artwork created by owner Amelia Kraemer available for purchase. See the studio space where encaustic, mixed media, and children’s classes take place. Amelia will have an encaustic station set up for demonstrations for you to see what painting with fire looks like; it’s mesmerizing.
