Well Get Creative in Crookwell, run by Margaret Wonson, is the place to go.
Plenty of people had a look in the shop when it officially opened on Saturday, November 13.
Ms Wonson, who ran a volunteer shop about three years ago, said she decided to start her business because of the struggles artists had during the pandemic.
"I'm an artist and for the last two years, no artists have been able to display their works because all the shows were cancelled due to the pandemic," she said.
"I did a really good painting and one of my friends helped me open up a shop to sell the work.
"I put an advertisement out to see if others wanted to sell their work and over 40 people applied.
"I now have their work in the shop along with mine."
Besides artworks, art supplies will be sold while a wide variety of art classes will also be run.
"I felt I wouldn't make a lot of money selling artwork, so I asked if anyone would want to teach," Ms Wonson said.
"I've now got over 14 teachers teaching about 20 different types of classes.
"We offer to teach photography, ceramics, pottery, acrylic painting, water colouring, Chinese brush work, furniture restoration and decoration and a whole lot more.
"We don't take young children yet, but we're looking into running some younger classes during the holidays.
"Some of the teachers told me they had trouble getting their supplies, so now I'll be supplying them as well."
Open from 10am to 4pm on Thursdays to Mondays, Get Creative in Crookwell is located on 105, Goulburn Street Crookwell.
