History
Soho Art Materials is a small business that is family owned and operated. Situated in the Soho NYC area, it has served the artist community since the 1990's. Employees are all working artists that provide professional and individualized customer service. Originally on Grand Street, our store moved in 2010 to a new location at 7 Wooster St., just north of Canal St. Our Brooklyn location is now open and is located at 36 Gardner Avenue in the heart of the Bushwick neighborhood. The store space is on the 2nd floor, above TriMar Enterprises, our handmade stretcher manufacturing facility. Please call or visit us for custom services including stretching artwork, panel and stretcher fabrication, and many framing options that are available at an affordable cost!
