All items intended for shrink wrap must be mounted with suitable backing board and be ready for wrapping at the time they are presented to the store personnel. Backing should be at least the size of the mat or larger, and rigid enough to hold the plastic film after it is shrunk. (Corrugated cardboard can bend.) We recommend foam core.

Our non-profit, service-based supply store is one of the few physical shops in the Washington, DC area where you can walk in and buy artists’ materials. Our store is special because our store employees are knowledgeable, working artists who are ready and willing to guide you through your purchases. As a service to our students, members, and supporters, supplies and materials requested by Art League instructors are sold here.

Class Supplies
Most teachers have copies of their supply lists on file in The Art League Store. We recommend that you shop early to avoid the rush. Most classes begin work the first day, so bring any supplies you have to your first class.
Due to limited staff and large enrollment, we are unable to mail, email, fax, or read supply lists over the phone.
As a non-profit organization, The Art League sells supplies at a discounted rate to League members and students. The Store makes every effort to stock items requested by Art League teachers, as well as other popular materials for the fine artist.
Please understand that the store operates primarily as a mission-based service to our teachers, students, and members, rather than simply a retail component of The Art League.
