WET PAINT'S 35 YEARS: 1976 TO THE PRESENT!

“Beth, with the help of her able & knowledgeable staff, took a rather modest kernel of an art supply store, nurtured it, and has grown it into an institution beyond one's wildest expectations. I've long felt that, while opening Wet Paint was a good idea, the better idea was placing it under Beth's stewardship. Thank you, Beth. Congratulations upon the 35th anniversary.”-- Hugh Huelster, Founder, Wet Paint, April 2011 READ MORE
