Art Van Go Creating with Colour
Welcome!
Have we really done it??
After 37 years, April 1st 2026 — yes, April Fool’s Day — will be seen as the final day ART VAN GO traded in the way you've known.
We’ve begun gradually removing products from the website as existing orders and enquiries are completed. If you can still see an item, you can still order it — just for now.
More details will be published soon, and we’ll be sharing further updates over the next few days.
The slideshow shows how the shop looks now (March '26) compared to how it used to be.
Everything we have left is now in the main shop area and there's lots of open space around.
You can see how the whole place looked once-upon-a-time in the VIRTUAL TOUR
ART VAN GO
in a nutshell
Art Van Go started life in 1989 with a van, filled with art materials, travelling around the country 'taking the art shop to the artist'! The van then evolved into the 'The Studios' shop, which in turn gave birth to the website & online shop!

The Studios shop stocked everything from oil paints to printing materials, but specialises particularly in textile and mixed-media art with the emphasis on the 'hard to find' and the unusual.

EU & NI Sales
Due to Brexit and the continuing confusion surrounding sending out goods we regret we have suspended sales to the EU and Northern Ireland. Please see HERE for more details.
A little note about how we package our goods...
As a company that cares about our impact on the environment, and in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint, we often send out our goods in recycled packaging. So please don't be surprised if your goods are wrapped in a cat food box or teabag box. We will always use clean, dry recycled packaging to safely send your goods to you, and kindly ask if you can recycle as much as you can of what we send out!
Going, Going . . .
Our 'retirement' plans for 2020 were put on hold by Covid 19 and our doors have been closed since the beginning of the pandemic.
As the pandemic situation eased we began our wind-down process with the doors to the bricks & mortar shop open for SALES EVENT DAYS
and
SPECIAL
ONLINE CLEARANCE SALES.
We now have a
FEATURED CLEARANCE
category on the website as well as reduced prices all over the online shop. Further details will be announced by email
