Hello Friends,

Dennis, Ron, Ernie & Paul (clockwise, from top left)

Welcome to Artisan’s website!

Our website is an extension and reflection of what Artisan is as a company. We began on Canyon Road in Santa Fe in 1975. The current four owners all began as retail clerks and  have worked together for over 20 years. We have two retail stores in Santa Fe and Albuquerque that has employees who are mostly artists dedicated to their art and helping you with yours. Our website is competitively priced with other internet art material sites from much larger companies. Please come in to our stores in Santa Fe or Albuquerque, call or click, and allow us an opportunity to earn your business.

Start thinking about our fifth Artists’ Materials Expo 2012 for this September 13-16 at Buffalo Thunder Resort. Three days of manufacturers selling great art supplies at discounted prices and four days of classes and demos with top artists! You won’t want to miss it. All workshops are open for registration, and vendor information will be posted later this month.  
Our online store is also just a button away. Please note that, like most online stores, Artisan online pricing is different than in-store pricing. Online you do all the work and the order is filled.  All purchases are shipped to you directly. Prices so low, they’re available online only.  

 

Cool Item of the Month

Artisan’s Expo 2012 Special Apron

Available now at both stores.

Artisan’s Expo Special Apron, $16.95
Inspired by Tony Abeyta, one of Expo’s workshop instructors.

Inspired by a painting that Tony did early in his career, when he was shopping at the Canyon Road store. Tony’s work is truly about “creative spirit”, and we’re happy to have this image as an emblem for Expo 2012. It’s available at both the Santa Fe & Albuquerque stores now!

In the picture below, Tony’s painting is on the left, our version of the design in the center, and the finished apron on the right.

 

Artisan Employee’s Art Gallery

We have such a creative group of employees and are very proud of them and their artwork. Check out the Artisan Employee’s Art Gallery homepage and let us know what you think.

Artisan’s “Artist of the Month”

Meet Tony Abeyta. “Living in an urban place adds an element of progressive cultural experience. In a city there is the whole discourse of cultures, thinking, music and international art. I consider myself a regionalist, accepting that much of what I do is tied to a native culture and place. I find that art is constantly moving, reinventing and affected by the changes in our culture and its great to feel part of that in some way.”
