Local Artists in the Spotlight!

At Never Bored Games in Norwalk, we believe that supporting our local community means more than just being a place to play—it means lifting up the talented creators who make our area so special. That’s why we’re proud to partner with and promote local artists, offering them a platform to showcase their handmade wares to a wider audience. From intricately stitched dice bags and handcrafted dice towers to charming earrings, whimsical keychains, and everything in between, our selection highlights the creativity and skill of the incredible artisans in our own backyard.

We’ve dedicated an entire “Local Artists” shelf—conveniently located just inside our front doors—so customers can’t miss the unique and beautiful items on display. Each piece is a testament to the passion and care these artists pour into their work, and we're proud to help bring their craftsmanship into the spotlight. Whether you're a gamer looking for the perfect accessory or a gift-giver seeking something one-of-a-kind, there's something here for everyone.

At Never Bored Games, this isn’t about profit—it’s about community. That’s why we don’t charge sky-high fees for artists to showcase their creations. We’re committed to keeping it accessible, because we truly believe those who work hard and create amazing things deserve to be seen, appreciated, and celebrated. Supporting local isn’t a trend for us—it’s a core value, and we’re honored to be a small part of these artists’ journeys.

Here are some of the beautiful products that are currently on display!

While that is currently all we have room for, there is always the possibility that space will open up as our artists move, grow, or otherwise decide to step back from their art. When that happens, we will take find new artists to step in and take their place! Keep your eyes peeled for new artists arriving occasionally!
