Our Story

A shop built for makers, by makers

Empire Art Supply Ltd. was founded on a simple conviction: every artist — whether just picking up a pencil for the first time or preparing for a solo exhibition — deserves access to quality materials and honest advice.

Our shop on Walnut Street is more than a retail space. It's a gathering point for Denver's creative community, a place where you can touch the paper before you buy it, ask questions without judgment, and leave with exactly what you need — and perhaps something you didn't know you were looking for.

We carry a curated selection of professional and student-grade supplies from the brands we trust. Our team draws on real studio experience to help you make the right choices, every time.
