San Clemente Art Supply & Framing

Happy Holidays Everyone!!

Our Holiday Hours are

Store Closed November 27 & 28, December 24th @ 2pm, December 25 & 26th

December 31st @ 2pm, January 1st

We wish you a season filled with all the happiness your heart can hold.

May that happiness be with you always and be shared with others.

This particular Holiday Season brings with it an increased awareness of our place in the world and all that it means in terms of how we use its resources.

With that awareness comes a desire to live in a more thoughtful manner.

We have done some very focused searching to find products that are of high quality at unbeatable prices. We have art materials that are meant to last, and produce the best results, allowing artists to create their visions without the waste and frustration that can occur with inferior products.

Come and see what we have and let us help you find just the right gift for yourself or another artist.

Here’s a taste of some of the Holiday fare!

Our Commitment to the Environment

We are committed to become more environmentally friendly; our first step was to eliminate our printed newsletter by switching to email; our next step is to eliminate plastic bags. We plan to use our current stock and not re-order any more. The harm these bags do to the planet is astonishing and preventable. Please take a moment to view the following slide show by clicking on the link below. It will definitely make you aware of the scope of the problem.

As an alternative we will have our reusable bags in two sizes.

The large bags are free with a $75 purchase, or $2 each.

Messenger size bags, available Nov.2008, are free with a $50 purchase, or $1.75 each.

Each time you shop using any reusable bag, or don’t need a bag at all, we will enter your name in a monthly drawing for a $25 gift card to the store.

Thank you everyone, for your help in this effort.
