Art stop

 

The Art Stop is an art and craft supply store located in Swakopmund in what I like to call the Fußgängerzone. It is easy to find in the array of different shops as it has a stop sign right outside its door.

Inside this colourful shop, you will find paints ranging from acrylic to water paint and oil-based paints. You will also find colour pencils, pastels, markers, canvases, and all the little things needed to create art. The staff are very friendly and ready to help at any time, so do ask if you need help.

The Art Stop is no ordinary art supply store, it has an in-house gallery hosting arts with the likes of Zin Maisiri, Ernest Rohe, Jurietta Otto and so many more. The work on display is not only canvas painting but photographs and sculptures and the mos interesting medium I've ever seen, leather. 

This might be my favourite piece on display. A yellow and blue zebra, what are the odds, and if you crane your head slightly to the right, does it not look like Morty from Madagascar? Do not be limited to the pictures I have taken as there is so much to see there. They also have so much on display like sculptures as stated before.

The Art Stop is on Instagram as ArtStopNamibia and I love it when places have an online presence. So please do go look at it and follow if you like what you see.
