History
Originally a Pharmacist, Joe Miller began to study watercolor painting in the early 1980’s with help from professor Noyes Capehart Long at Appalachian State University. In 1985, Joe began selling watercolor paper and select art supplies from his Boone, NC pharmacy, Boone [...]. After sending a 8-1/2" x 11" single sheet sales flyer to the members of the Watercolor Society of North Carolina, sales picked up, and a couple of years later, Cheap Joe’s Art Stuff was born. 1 After outgrowing several smaller facilities over the next few years, Cheap Joe’s constructed its corporate headquarters in Boone, North Carolina in 1994. Soon after an adjoining outlet store was added. In 2007, a second retail store was opened in Charlotte, NC.2
