Artist & Craftsman Supply

Philadelphia art supply store Artist & Craftsman Supply, with locations in Center City and Chestnut Hill, has sent the following alert to the art community:

Dear Friends and Supporters of Artist & Craftsman Supply,

The immediate situation at Artist & Craftsman Supply is extremely difficult. We are waiting on funding which has been delayed for a few more weeks. We desperately need help to get through the summer. Your support has helped A&C become a creative resource in 22 beautiful communities. We need your support NOW to remain open for years to come.

Buying a gift card, in your local store or online, will help us pay our bills and invest in the business. Here's a link to purchase gift cards. Thank you!

Anyone who has been to an Artist & Craftsman Supply knows what a loss it would be if their stores went away. Good time for an inventory check. I'm going to place an online order to restock my paints and anything else I can think of.
