Lodging and Location The Art Loft Studio & Gallery is housed in a century old meeting hall in the small quaint village of Canal Winchester, Ohio located on State Route
33 four miles southeast of Interstate 270 ( the outer belt around Columbus) and just south of Interstate 70 on the east side of Columbus. Although an ever growing suburb of Columbus, Canal
Winchester is still a friendly safe haven far from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are numerous national chain hotels and motels in the Southeast (Brice Road) area of
Columbus that are within easy driving distance. However, we recommend the Best Western (formerly Amerihost Inn) for convenience, safety and quality.

currently formulated using Weber Prima Oil Paints, however, you are welcome to bring any brand of oil paints that you are currently using. The Art Loft has a complete line of Prima Paints,
brushes and any other necessary art supplies. FLYING WITH YOUR PAINTS Flying is safer today than ever, however, the new security measures
do require a little more time not only at the airport, but also in packing. Due to uncertain and every changing restrictions, there seems to be no definite answers regarding packing oil paints.
They definitely cannot be packed in your carry-on luggage. Therefore, if you would rather not attempt bringing oil paints, we can supply paint for a nominal "Palette Fee" Bring all of
your other supplies in your checked luggage. |
