Request for Donations: Help Artists Affected by the Wine Country Fires
Do you have gently used art supplies you’d like to donate to fire victims in the North Bay?
Knowing that the tragic firestorm that engulfed Sonoma and Napa Counties must have taken a huge toll on artists and art students of that area, we reached out to some of our connections in the Fine Arts Department at Santa Rosa Junior College to find out how we might be of assistance. We heard stories ranging from students who lost their homes and supplies, to others about those whose places of work were destroyed or who ran through their savings while caring for friends and families who had to evacuate.
When asked if there was a need for donated art supplies to help those affected by the fires, the answer was a resounding: YES!
Along with Gamblin Colors, Princeton Brush Company and Art Alternatives Canvas, we have been working on a donation of materials that the faculty at SRJC would get into the hands of the students most in need.
Additionally, we want to open this up to you. If you have gently used materials that you are no longer using, we would gladly include them in the boxes of materials we’re compiling.
What is most needed:
What is not needed:
You can drop off your donation of gently used art materials at ARCH through the end of Saturday, November 4th.
Finally, if you are traveling through the Santa Rosa area, we encourage you to visit stores such as Village Art Supply and Riley Street Art Supply. Natural disasters like this have a deep impact on nearby small businesses. These locally owned shops play an important roll in the community and need your support. Retail can be a tough business. Ask any of us the reason we do this work and we’ll all say it’s because of the people and the community which surround us.

New To Stock: M. Graham Oil Paints (plus, New Wave Glass Posh Palettes)
We have been looking to add options in our oil colors category. Recently, we brought in M. Graham Watercolors and Gouache and in reviewing and receiving feedback we are please to announce we have added M. Graham Oil paints to our stock.
M. Graham Oils offer great value with high quality. Using walnut oil as it's binder, in lieu of linseed oil, M. Graham Oils are created in a tradition that dates back to old masters from the Renaissance. The paints have an incredibly high pigment load, offer vibrant colors and a super smooth consistency.
Lets talk more about the binder they use; Walnut oil does not have the same strong odor that comes with most other linseed oil based paints. You can also clean your brushes with walnut oil. It provides a peace of mind to painting in tight studio spaces, as many of us do in the Bay Area.
New to Stock: New Wave Posh Palettes
A nice addition to any oil painters studio is a glass palette.
New Wave Posh palettes are made in the USA with 1/8" tempered glass. These are strong enough to mull paints on and are available with a gray, white or clear background. One of the more ingenious elements to the design is they are sized perfectly to fit into Masterson palette boxes. This allows you to seal your paints overnight and still get the ease of clean up a glass palette provides.
We are currently stocking these in 9x12 and 12x16 and we also have the matching Masterson boxes for purchase.
