Since we started in 1992 (from our founders’ kitchen table!), we’ve been supporting all artists on every step of their artistic journey. SAA offers not only a vast range of art materials to artists from all over the world but also inspiration, information, help and advice on a whole host of practical painting issues. The SAA supports a community of over 37,000 artists of all abilities, from hobby painters and enthusiasts to professionals with support for each stage of their journey. Whether it’s technique and inspiration for our enthusiasts or business advice and support for our professionals, we’re here for our artists. SAA has also developed a range of own-branded products from pastels and paints to brushes that are artist quality and a competitive alternative to leading brands. We are proud to support our partnered professional artists as they create their own range of brushes, paints and publications too.
