Holiday Open House

The holiday season is here, and at The Art Store, we’re kicking things off in a BIG way with our most anticipated event of the year — The Art Store En Fête: Our Annual Holiday Open House! Whether you’re an artist, a gift-giver, or just a lover of all things festive, this is the perfect opportunity to get into the holiday spirit, explore our latest product launches, and indulge in all things creative.

Join us on Saturday November 23, as we transform The Art Store into a winter wonderland, complete with twinkling lights, seasonal decor, and exclusive holiday offerings. Here’s a sneak peek at all the amazing things we have planned for you:

We’ll kick off the festivities with our Tree Lighting Ceremony at 11 AM sharp! Gather around as we light up the season and celebrate the magic of the holidays. It’s a moment you won’t want to miss!

At Noon, we’ll be hosting a FREE Pantone Markers Demo — your chance to explore Pantone’s vibrant and versatile markers! Whether you’re new to the world of Pantone or a seasoned pro, this demo will show you how to achieve stunning color accuracy and consistency with these professional-grade markers. Learn techniques to bring your sketches, designs, and artwork to life, and discover how Pantone can help elevate your work to the next level. Don’t miss it!

At 2 PM, we’re diving into the dazzling world of FineTec Metallic Watercolors. Join us for a free demonstration where you’ll get hands-on experience with these shimmering, high-quality pigments. You’ll learn tips and tricks to create stunning metallic effects that will make your artwork glow!

We are thrilled to welcome Sara Stedner, Holbein Artist Materials’ brand ambassador, LIVE and in person! From Noon to 4 PM, Sara will be showcasing her East Meets West watercolor, gouache, and Holbein Medium techniques. You can sit down with her for a personalized demonstration and ask her about everything from brushwork to color mixing — she’ll be sharing her secrets to creating beautifully balanced, vibrant pieces with you! Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, you’ll walk away with invaluable knowledge to apply to your own work.

No event at The Art Store would be complete without some goodies, and this year, we’ve got you covered! All attendees will receive a FREE swag bag filled with art supplies and materials you can take home and experiment with. It’s the perfect way to continue the fun and creativity long after the Open House ends. Plus, enjoy exclusive holiday deals and new arrivals throughout the store — from our Brush Department to our Kids Aisle, Fine Pen Room, and more! Whether you’re stocking up on supplies or hunting for the perfect gift, you’ll find something you can’t resist.

As always, our Holiday Open House is packed with unbeatable specials, including brand-new holiday launches you’ll want to get your hands on before they sell out! This is your chance to shop for the best art supplies at some of the lowest prices of the season, and make this year’s gift list a little more colorful. We’ll have discounts, special bundles, and curated collections that cater to every artist — from the little ones to the pros!

Every year, this event is one of our most popular, and we’re going all out this time to make sure it’s the most unforgettable one yet. Whether you’re new to The Art Store or a regular customer, you’ll find something to spark your imagination, inspire your creativity, and fill your holiday season with joy.
