It’s an honor to be recognized by the esteemed New Times magazine as the “Best Art Supplies” store in their Best Of Phoenix 2026 issue! Check out what they had to say about us.
“Making art starts with imagination. For anything else you might need, head for Arizona Art Supply, where local makers stock up on the tools of the trade. Why? Let us draw you a picture: The 75-year-old retailer, the Valley’s largest locally owned art supply store, fills its aisles with more than 30,000 competitively priced items, including stuff not found at Michaels or Jerry’s Artarama. Paints, palettes, brushes and canvases are just the start. The store has ample supplies for drawing, sculpting, printmaking and crafting. Unique items like handmade paper or locally produced artwork are also available. Creative-minded staffers are happy to help locate markers with that precise nib or to explain a specific technique. Or you could attend one of the store’s weekly art classes to hone your skills.”
While we value this recognition from the New Times, we also greatly value your continued support throughout our 75 years (and counting) of operation.
We understand that we’re not the only art supply store in the Valley, but we are the only one locally owned and operated. Which is why the continued support from our customers mean the world to us!
So whether you’re just stopping by to take a look around or you’re an looking to restock some of your go-tos, we want to thank each and every one of you for supporting our store.
