In 2005 the Institute purchased the former Stan's Paint Store on Amherst Street to provide additional studio space. The mill framed building was originally built for the PSNH meter department and was occupied by Stan's Paint Store for over 56 years. This latest project transforms the building into an Art school by providing eight large painting and drawing studios, expanded Ceramics Department, gallery space and the Camera Shop and Art Supply store at NHIA. It preserves the original historic building and infuses it with renewed energy in the first block off Elm St.
