The Artist’s Attic art supply store and studio, currently located in the basement level of the National Transit Building in Oil City, will be moving to the basement level of the Porch Music Store in Franklin early this month.
Manager Heidi Krug-Whistle said the Artist’s Attic’s last day in Oil City was April 25, and she hopes to have it open in Franklin by early next week.
“We were hoping by May Mart, but it probably won’t be,” she said. “We’re planning on doing an open house for the public once it’s up and running, so people can see our art and music space.”
Holly Gibbons owns both Artist’s Attic and Porch Music, and Krug-Whistle manages both businesses. In addition, Gibbons owns the building that houses Porch Music.
She said most of the artists who sold work through Artist’s Attic will be moving to Franklin with the store, and some will continue to offer classes.
The first class of the summer will be a silk scarf-dying class with artist Julia McCray on May 20.
The public can best follow the business’ other upcoming events and other news through Facebook, Krug-Whistle said.
In the new space, the business will be able to expand its art supply offerings as well, she added.
