About Jerry's Artarama

Jerry's Artarama was founded in 1968 when Jerry Goldstein opened his own art supplies and materials store in Long Island, N.Y., introducing discount pricing to budding and established artists. Jerry believed in treating customers like family, a tradition that still continues. Today, Jerry's offers over 70,000 top quality art materials at direct savings-as much as 75 percent off traditional retail on products from the industry's top art manufacturers, as well as Jerry's own exclusive product lines via an online retail store, art supply catalog and Jerry's Artarama Superstores. In addition, Jerry's Artarama serves as an artist resource by providing instructional workshops; new art supply demos; and special art-related events, including the Art of the Carolinas Tradeshow, an annual event held in Raleigh, N.C., Jerry's Artarama corporate headquarters.
