Another landmark art store in New York is now in danger of closing its
doors due to sales slumps in the digital age. New York Central Art
Supply, a 110 year old store still owned and operated by the same family
that opened it, will follow in the steps of Pearl Paint, once the
biggest art supply store in New York, which shuttered it's doors in
April of 2014.
