Gwartzman’s Art Supplies is a beloved resource for affordable art supplies and some good advice in Chinatown. An old stomping ground for art students past and present, Gwartzman’s specializes in painting supplies (particularly oil and acrylics) and canvasses. Professional artists are usually on hand to lead you to the right gloss or brush for your newest masterpiece. It’s easy to keep your creative juices flowing with the selection of pastels, paintbrushes, sketchbooks and other supplies you may not have known you needed. If you’re into painting or drawing, Gwartzman’s is sure to become a regular stop in your shopping routine.
Step inside and you’ll feel like you’re a Bohemian artist or back in the Beatnik era of New York’s Greenwich Village because of the rustic interior and no-frills atmosphere. One of your best deals is a large canvas, which you probably can’t find for a better price anywhere else. And though it can’t be done, we dare you to try and stump the staff with art-related questions.
