All of these items are below $4 at regular Cheap Joe’s prices. Our Holiday Sales Event is going on right now until the end of the year and many of these same items are at a further discount for the holidays! That means you can treat the artists on your Christmas list to a whole bunch of the finest art supplies you can find and still have money left over!
If your artist is particularly picking, you can also choose to purchase a Cheap Joe’s Gift Card in any amount you wish. Then, they can pick out what they want at their leisure through the catalog or online. This takes the all the guess work out of finding the right gift!
You may also have an artist on your list that has literally everything. If this is the case, you may wish to make a donation, on their behalf, to our Brushes For Vincent Program in any amount that you would like. This program provides art supplies for children’s groups in need. No matter what the reason, Cheap Joe’s tries to provide art supplies to those children who have none.
This holiday season may be the best opportunity you will ever have to make a difference in someone’s life. What better way to do that than to introduce a child to art! Take your loved one to an art museum, share an art class with them, get them started in a new medium. Pablo Picasso said “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” I feel that exposing a child to art, while in their development years, is a sure fire way to help them remain creative throughout their lives.
Now that we have started your list, it is up to you to decide what great art stuff you can stuff in that special someone’s stocking!
In fact, “How much art stuff could an artist stuff, if an artist could stock a stocking full of art stuff from Cheap Joe’s Art Stuff?” Say that three times fast!
