ABOUT ARLENE'S ARTIST MATERIALS 

Arlene’s Artist Materials started out as a ceramic studio in 1960, originally located in a small 500 sq ft storefront on Madison Ave. Outgrowing that location, Arlene’s moved to its current location, at 57 Fuller Road, Albany, NY (with over 10,000 sq ft), in 1974 to create the art supply store you know and love.

 

Teachers, students, parents and hobbyists can always find what they need at Arlene’s. Come and browse the handmade art papers, unique journals and artsy novelties in the gift section of our store. Everyone can find something at Arlene’s. Arlene’s has items found nowhere else in the area. We have over 40,000 different products and will be happy to special order anything we don’t have in stock.

 

Whether you paint, draw, sculpt; are a professional, student or a beginner artist, you will find what you want at Arlene’s. We deeply discount all our paints, brushes, canvases, and easels every day. Many more in-store specials are going on constantly. Come in and check them out!. You’ll find unexpected treats you can transform into treasures. Everyone on staff at Arlene’s is also an artist, so we are able to answer any of your questions. If we don’t know we will try as hard as we can to get you the answer.

 

Arlene’s is great for framing. Our framing department has highly skilled framers that can help you frame the piece you love. Arlene’s can handle small projects, big projects and everything in between. There are over 1000 custom frame options to choose from with tons of ready-made frames and frame kits too. Just need glass or a mat cut? Arlene’s has you covered there too. Why go anywhere else?


As an independent art supply store, we feel a special connection to the arts community in the Capital Region. In 2015  Arlene’s started our educational program, the Atelier at Arlene's, to foster the creativity of our customers. To further that connection, the R Gallery at Arlene’s and Makers Markets at Arlene’s came about to showcase local talent and develop a thriving creative community.
