Don’t forget that with our big sale this weekend, that there’s also a chance to win a $50 gift card!

 One entry per person, per day.  No purchase necessary to enter.  Every entry must be made in person.

 We’re open today from 10am-8pm.  See you soon!

Discounts cannot be combined with any other sale or offer.  Cannot be used towards the purchase of gift cards, vendor direct items, or sale items. 

Here’s an example of the marks we may put on your studio picture.  This way, we can feature the wonderful items that you use and enjoy in your studio.

1–Winsor and Newton Tavy easel, a single mast easel that is compact, easy to store, and on sale for $49.99.

2–Alving Onyx table, adjustable up to a standing height (as you see it above).  Great, smooth, working surface.  Easy to clean.

This photo is from my own home studio.  Pardon the mess, but when I work, all of my pastel sticks come out.

Announcing our new contest!  Show us your studio!

Email a jpeg photo to us at store30@utrecht.com, include your name and home city.  We would also very much like to include any promotional website for your artwork and information about any unique attributes of your studio.  We may post markers in your photo in order to show product being used to our customers.

 In exchange for being posted on the blog, you can possibly win a $25 ArtSmart gift card.  All you have to do is call our store within 48 hours of your studio being posted.  The post will included a deadline time (i.e., must call be December 4th at 1:34pm).  You will need to call us at (216)-371-3500.  Do not miss the deadline, as no prize will be given if you are late, even by a few minutes.  Your call must be made while the store is open normal hours.  After hours/before hours calls will not be counted.  If you call in time, you will be able to stop by the store to pick up your gift certificate.  One posting/prize per customer.   It will not be possible to post all of the studio photos.  Postings will be random, but low quality photos will not be used.  When you email a photo, we will send you a notification email so that you know that we’ve received it.  We will not upload photos in our store from flashdrives or discs.  All entries must be through email.

 Please call us with any questions.

 Pictured above is a photo of Bailey VanKirk’s home studio, where you can see she’s working on a wonderful Winsor and Newton Mersey easel. 

Here is a tiny oil painting by Kathleen Harrington that is in our mini show.

Here’s another great piece from Noelle Powell.  It’s one of her four pieces that are in the mini show this year.  These pieces will be up throughout November 2008, and many are available for purchase and make great holiday presents.

If you are a registered ArtSmart member, you should be getting information in your email in the next few days about our Day after Thanksgiving special sale. 

Here is yet another wonderful mini piece that is part of our mini show.  This is by Noah’s Child, and it will be up with all of the other pieces until the end of the month.  Stop by to see this great watercolor, and more!

Here is another great quote on the walls of the Smithonian.  This one is featured in their special folk art exhibit.

Here is yet another piece from the mini-show.  It’s by artist Shelley Robinson.  She has 4 pieces in the show, all mixed media pieces.  Stop by to take a look at over 100 mini pieces of fine art, and feel free to purchase pieces for yourself or for holiday gifts.

See you soon!!

 Pictured is Kathleen Harrington’s small piece that is in the mini show.  You can see this, and many others, before the end of November.  It’s a great show with lots of artwork that would make great holiday presents.
