We have the nicest customers...

I opened an e-mail today, to recieve a compliment!

"Hi,
My name is Matty and have been a long time customer of your store. As an artist I have tried all the other art supply stores in the area and have frequently found Artists Mediums to be the best and friendliest, a fact I have long appreciated. Thank you.
A friend suggested to me that I should consider "doing a class" at your store. My specialty is 25mm miniature figurine painting (Fantasy & Sci-Fi) with acrylic paints. I have been painting for 11 years and have taught several "newbies" learn the basics and intermediate skills needed for this style of art.
If you are interested in talking more about this please feel free to email me.
Thank you for running a wonderful store and for all the help that has been given to me by your staff these past 12 years,
Sincerely,

Matthew C. B.

What a wonderful letter, of course we will be discussing this class for early next year...so keep an eye out for that...I just wanted to mention how nice our customers are.

A candy store for the most creative people in VERMONT!

There are some customers who brighten our day when they come into the store,  and I am so glad they decided to visit...So many of our Regular customers are talented and inspiring...I just want to thank you ALL!!!

Ways to help

Artists' Mediums Inc was very lucky to be completely unscathed by the recent flooding here in Vermont.

This was part of my drive to work monday -chels

Many others were not nearly so lucky, as several towns are still unaccessable, and many are still without power.

There are lots of ways to help:



Today, (wed. Aug 31st) a family in Pittsfield reported that they bought the last loaf of bread at the market. IF YOU ARE IN OR AROUND RUTLAND, PLEASE DROP OFF SUPPLIES AT Restoring Rutland ~ 34 STRONGS AVENUE FROM 9AM-9PM. These supplies will be delivered to Mendon, Killington, and Pittsfield. Families are eager to get more water, baby food and formula, diapers, dog food, cleaning supplies, etc. Any help is appreciated. Thank you all.




This would be a lovely photo of a lake, if it weren't a  farmer's field.

You can also help through the Red cross:

Have you seen our Framing Lately?

Our Professional Picture Framing Department continues to produce excellent custom picture framing finished work to suit every possible taste, and archival requirement.



We can show you all the options: parts to do it yourself, a shadow-box or float frame, even needlepoint mounting or museum glass, because we want your art to last generations.

Artists' Mediums has recently expanded Kristin's framing department's capabilities.

 Kristin always could cut multiple opening mats...
...but now she can cut just about any shape you'd like to see!
