Maple & Main

Curt is Chicago native – but don’t hold that against him. After stops in Madison and California, he and his wife moved to Waukesha in 2004 to open their own downtown business.

What's New?

While the rest of the city toils over train whistles, hotel construction, baseball fields, and what the mayor is wearing, something very worthwhile is being overlooked.

There is a new addition coming to downtown- an addition that has been long overdue.

It’s hard to believe that in a downtown full of artists, no one had come up with this idea sooner- or maybe they did and just didn’t have the ambition.

Nevertheless, at 9AM on August 16th, Masterpiece Art Supply will open its doors at 375 W. Main Street, right next to Couri Insurance and just kiddy corner of Otto’s Fine Art Academy.

Downtown Waukesha is finally going to have an art supply store.

Ever since Main Street Art Supply (located in what will now be the Clarke Hotel) closed its doors back in 2004, artists down here have had to travel to the furthest edges of town and beyond to find any sort of art supply selection.

Masterpiece Art Supply is going to fill a much needed void.

Along with this new addition, rumors of more new developments are spreading like wildfire down here.

Sushi on Broadway? A purse store on Main? A café and lunch spot near the Five Points?

All of these are in their very early stages, but it’s exciting none the less.

Makes you wonder what could possibly happen next?
