Jerry's Artarama Retail Stores - Tempe 4421 South Rural Road, Tempe, AZ 85282

"Super nice workers, has everything you could possibly need and is just a great place overall"

"Decent prices, discount with phone number, and lots of supplies. Employees can be really hit or miss but most are wonderful. My only complaint is that I have to leave my bag up front and the employees don't really watch the bags. It'd be super easy for someone to snag it on the way out. I suggest having a designated area behind the registers."

"I love this little store and the knowledgeable employees. The employees are always kind and willing to help. Most of all they all know how to respect paper. I go in there to buy large sheets. All artist know that oils from hands can really mess up your paper. Ever time I hold my paper and don't let them touch it the cashiers are always understandable and smile. The older gentleman in there has a system to bag so he doesn't touch it. I love ❤️ it!! The best part about going into this store is exploring the isles and finding new supplies that you won't find online. Nor can you examine paper, canvas, and wood panels to make sure there are no flaws. The big box store have slimmed down quality fine art supplies to their house brands that are cheap. With Jerry's you can trust the house brand to be in line with fine art professional grade. I did the research on their water colors! They carry 100% cotton water color paper here as well. Jerry's is not publicly traded. I prefer to support smaller businesses. FYI, No one has ever asked me for a tip at this store. But if they did.... well I would tip. Hopefully karma would comeback to me one day when I sell my art."

"Jerry's is on the other side of t he Valley for us, but we go there often ... it's worth the trip! They have a huge range of art and craft supplies, for artists of all genres and hobbyists, and even teachers in general classrooms, as well at those teaching art. Great place! Helpful and content knowledgeable staff. Clean and friendly place. Even your canine pals with respective manners are welcome! Also, amateur artists can hang some of there work to sell at no charge to the artist!"
