The Merri Artist To Move From Downtown Mac

Color me surprised! The Merri Artist is set to move from its longtime downtown Mac home on 3rd Street to the Vintage Place shopping center in North McMinnville along Highway 99W.

“Bringing inspiration and creativity to McMinnville for over 21 years!”

Founded in 2004, The Merri Artist is an art supply store and a shining example of a thriving small family business in the heart of Oregon’s wine country. While they’ve outgrown their cozy space in historic downtown McMinnville, this move is undeniably an upgrade that features a larger storefront with plenty of parking for customers.

The Merri Artist is taking over the former Anytime Fitness site at 865 NE Highway 99W, Suite C, in the shopping plaza. According to someone with the business, and the numerous posters in the windows, the new location is set to open on July 7, 2025.
