Check out the latest reality show on Bravo - Work of Art: The Next Great Artist. In each episode, contestants complete using their creative and technical skills, judged by a panel of top art world figures. The show is co produced by Sara Jessica Parker and the producers of Top Chef and Project Runway.  During the filming of the show, contestants frequent Utrecht’s Chelsea store on 23rd Street to obtain their supplies. Looks like our Chelsea store is on the way to becoming as popular Magnolia Bakery as featured on Sex and the City.

The “I Love New York” Sidewalk Event was a smashing success. Check out photos of why people love New York City on our Facebook page: Utrecht Art Supplies/New York City.

Teaching Studios of Art, a new school in Brooklyn, is hosting a grand opening open house on Friday, June 4, from 7-10 PM during Bushwick’s open studios night. Here is what they have to say about themselves:

About us The Teaching Studios of Art’s mission is to train artists in traditional techniques practiced for centuries before the advent of Modernism. We desire to equip students of all ages with the strengths of time-tested techniques.We offer portraiture, landscapes, the figure, and still life, all with a high degree of excellence. Our faculty is comprised of highly trained and skilled artists who have exhibited their work in New York and around the US. Our classes are small, and students receive much personal attention. Our clients are our community, and we take their needs seriously. 

Utrecht is supplying goody bags to the upcoming area event on May 8.  Check it out.
