History
The business was started by my father in the early 1970's in my grandfather's hardware store. In 1974 they lost everything to an arsonist. With no insurance my family had no idea what they would do. After much consideration and help from past customers, my father chose to open Commercial Art Supply. As the name implies, we were major suppliers to local designers, advertising agencies, marketing firms, and even the New York State Prison system with screen printing equipment and supplies. As much of this business began to disappear with the advent of computers, he shifted our product mix to include fine art materials. We now supply school districts, professional artists, hobby artists, students, government and more. We operate two retail stores In NY, a warehouse in NY, and a warehouse in south Florida.
