About
The Artist's Apothecary is an independent art supply store on Murwillumbah Street, in a town with a strong creative community and a regional gallery just across the river. Rather than a big-box approach, it offers a thoughtfully curated range of art materials and gifts chosen for artists of all levels — from people picking up a creative habit to working artists restocking their studio.
The shop runs under the idea that 'art is the best medicine', and backs that up with classes and workshops you can join by signing up to its mailing list. As a small, owner-run bricks-and-mortar store, hours can occasionally shift, so it's worth a quick check of their social pages before a special trip.
