Preston Arts Center

The Preston Arts Center is the local, family owned and operated art supply in Louisville, KY. The business opened in 1941 as Preston Paint and Wallpaper.
The store's focus was obvious, but there were always at least a few art materials in the store for signwriters to layout and execute their work, but also artists oil paints and materials for their use during the off-season. After a devastating fire in the late 70s, Roena and Andy were ready to retire. They handed the reins over to Don and Kathy, who owned the store for 40 years and still work in the business today.
Make your own journal! This Sunday at Preston Arts Center, Louisville KY.
