Union Street Gallery Exhibits Paint by Numbers in the Art of our Childhood

Paint by Numbers kits have been around since the 1950s and feature designs ranging from mythical creatures to famous landmarks and landscapes.

Paint by Numbers are not as popular with households as they once were, but they certainly have a place in American culture.

Each piece is a one of kind authentic vintage item that will surely make a great addition to your wardrobe. Its fun, funky, and for the arts. So shop a little for yourself and support the local arts.
