FORT WAYNE, IND. — United Art and Education, Inc. has relocated to a new, expanded location in The Market at Mill Run Shopping Center in Hilliard, Ohio. The new store, which opened April 17th, will be approximately 25% larger than its previous location in Dublin. The new location carries United Art and Education’s complete line of fine art materials, as well as the area’s largest selection of educational and creative resources for teachers, parents and students. Less than 10 miles south of the former Dublin location, the Hilliard United Art and Education store is located at 3622 Fishinger Blvd.

Since it opened it store in Dublin in 2001, United Art and Education has experienced steady growth at that location. The main reason behind the move, according to company president Mike Gugel, was the opportunity to offer Columbus-area customers the full spectrum of art supplies already available at its six other locations in Indiana and Ohio. “The larger space also provides room for continued expansion of our educational materials lines,” said Gugel. “We saw the Mill Run area as being a vibrant, expanding area.”

Mark Van Buskirk, store manager, is also excited about the larger location. “The past five years in Columbus have been wonderful.  Teachers, parents, and artists from all over Ohio frequent our store and regularly compliment us on our selection and space for convenient shopping.  We are very lucky to have such great customers and friends here,” he said. “Come check us out!  We are even bigger and better than before!”

Artists can now find more professional supplies such as paints and brushes, easels, ceramic tools and glazes, matting and framing supplies, fine art papers and much more. The store continues to sell all the art products and educational resources that were available at the Dublin location.

The new Hilliard location is the latest development in United Art and Education’s overall growth. The company opened a new store in Sharonville, Ohio in February and is nearing completion of an expansion project at its corporate headquarters and distribution center in Fort Wayne, Indiana..
