Imagine a place where you can go to explore art in an easy way, without having to sign up for a series of classes or invest in materials that look fascinating, but that you may not use again. What if you could go to that place any time you want to, and find it filled with colorful, fun supplies - paints, papers, beads, tiles - and someone would show you how to use them? What if you could sit down for an hour and just play? What if you could sit down for an hour and just play? And then, if you wanted to, you could purchase materials to continue your creative adventures at home? This was our vision more than a decade ago, and today that vision is stronger than ever. We now have two physical locations, serving families and friends in the communities that surround the towns of Arlington and Franklin, Massachusetts; and an online store, ARTBEATgifts.com that serves you nationwide. We are family-run and staffed by creative souls who share our vision.

Donna the owner has a way with animals - very impressive and great service.

Depending who is working that day, you may get someone very helpful of very dismissive if you are not an experienced sewer. Parking can be a bit of a problem here. You have to park on the main street. The store is very small, but packed with sewing pattern and assorted materials. Not good if you are looking for an assortment of arts and crafts projects or knitting. Bring your scissors, knives, and garden tools in to Fabric Corner Arlington for sharpening. Check out their website for a 10% off coupon.
