I wanted to take one last opportunity to reach out and say thanks to our loyal friends and customers of the last 70 years. It was a great run, and we are grateful to have made a difference in so many artists lives. One week before we closed I personally dropped off a customers pencil set who had shopped with us since the 1950's. Just one of many.

You can help keep the heart and soul of SWAINS alive by patronizing other locally owned and operated, independent art supply stores.

There are many to choose from and they are all owned and operated by people who love art and artists as much as we did. Your local shops help support many local arts programs that you don't even know about.

I have listed a number of great shops below, all operated by peers of mine in Southern California.

I hope to run into you at a future opening or show somewhere!
