From Andrew Lenz, long time family owned &
operated arts supply: "We try so hard do our best. Our canvases are
always 30%-40% off of list, Golden Acrylics at least 30% off, we have
the best price in the world on Rives BFK printing paper, bar none. But that's
beside what I think is the most important, that is, of us being able to
discuss the materials with artists, help explain differences, and often, talk
them OUT of buying a product because it won't do what they think it will do."

License Plates
Designed by noted California artist Wayne
Tiebaud, the Arts License Plate was the first license plate in the nation
whose revenue solely benefited the arts. With more than 114,000 plates
sold since 1994, the Arts License Plate has raised more than $6 million for
arts education efforts. More information about the plates can be found
at http://www.cac.ca.gov/feature/arts_plate.cfm

One thing everyone can do to help the arts is to purchase the Arts License
Plate for their car or truck ($30 for sequential, $70 for personalized). You
can order it online - it's easy and fast! Click here: https://vrir.dmv.ca.gov/ipp/ippMain.jsp
