The Last Bookstore, recently named one of the most "novel" bookstores in the world by the Wall Street Journal, is filled with thousands of literary and musical gems.  But the second floor is where its newest treasure lies.

Joining the bookstore's labyrinth of $1 books & records is the Spring Arts Collective, a group of art-inspired shops and galleries who are bringing lots of crafts and curiosities to the Historic Core. Here's what some of the artist shop owners have to say:

"It's unique - there's no other place doing what we're doing... It feels like a place to hang out. People can come here and enjoy the full creativity of everything the Last Bookstore and Spring Arts Collective offers." - Renaissance Austin, Gather Knitting

"As artists with studios in this building, the bookstore has helped to give us great exposure and reinvigorate the collective." - Dave Lovejoy, Lovejoy Art

Visit Gather, Fold, Lovejoy Art, Liz Huston, Bogdan & more in the Spring Arts Collective, 2nd Floor above the Last Bookstore.
