Being in Jerry's Artarama was like being a kid in a candy store! For a long time I've seen ads for Jerry's but was never anywhere near enough to shop there. FINALLY, I was in Nashville & knew I had to go. The selection of all things art was amazing! I made several purchases (including some 100% cotton hot press watercolor paper that I had been wanting--at a great price too!). The employees, who are obviously passionate about art, are really helpful. I cannot wait to go back to Jerry's Artarama as soon as possible!! read more

Excellent selection. The people at the register were very nice. The value was decent, the prices were reasonable on many items and they had their store brand items for many types of arts if you are just wanting to try a type of art for the first time and worried about budget. read more

This place is amazing. Everything you want and things you didn't know you wanted. Christmas gifts a plenty. We stopped by to see an art Demo with members of the TN Art League. We had an opportunity to try the different mediums which was pretty cool. The people and artists in the store were like family, and I love how the store promotes and supports local artists. This is a business I can fully recommend. If you're in the area or anywhere within driving distance, get in there and get inspired. I did! read more

See all

I love Jerry's! The staff is always attentive and kind and I always can find what I need. I will always pick them over a big box store!

Love this store. If you want to start painting, drawing, printing, or sculpting, this is the store for you. They have plenty of materials that won't break the bank for a beginner, and when you're ready to take the next step, their higher quality materials are very reasonably priced. The staff here are helpful without being pushy and are there to give advice when needed. read more

Staff is very helpful. Price is right. Allows me to frame more art. Nice to use leftover mats for free

Good pricing, great selection, helpful staff makes this a one stop art supply spot. Free parking and lots of nearby coffee and lunch spots make for a good afternoon adventure. read more

Jerry's Artarama - Great Art Store - Framing Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Customer service is and always has been excellent here. I always feel good vibes shopping here.

Slightly higher priced than big box stores or Amazon, but it was nice to shop at an art-specific store and be able to handle a variety of products. I did wish for more variety with the watercolor supplies. read more

I have been a loyal customer of the website for years so I was thrilled to get a chance to go in their shop finally. Great selection, easy to find everything, the staff were very nice and helpful. read more

The staff and service are always exceptional, not to mention the wide variety of products/supplies for part time hobbyists to full-time artists. Hannah, who runs the framing department, couldn't have been nicer and made a number of framing suggestions that had never occurred to me before. Amanda and Morgan helped me figure out exactly what I needed for a new project I was working on and the results turned out perfectly. I've been going to Jerry's for years and can't remember ever having a negative experience. Run, don't walk to this East Nashville gem of a store!!! Jason B read more

I am mainly a watercolor artist and this location did not have a huge watercolor selection. It seemed like they had a lot more for acrylic artists. Staff was very friendly read more

This is a great art store, lots of high end selections, love the spray paint, it is so deluxe

The people who work here are cool. The cashiers and framers all pleasant and easy to work with. It's rare. Ive been shopping here for years and have always left feeling happy about life. Thank you friendly people. read more

I would've given 5 stars as the staff was very nice, willing to help, etc., BUT as I was checking out while paying with my credit card, the clerk said, "would you like to leave a tip?". Really I was very put off. I'm sorry, but tipping retail clerks? No, not going there. And worse I questioned myself if I should feel guilty for them not making a good wage (I'm assuming). I think it's a VERY off-putting idea for this, or any retail store, to ask for or have a tip jar out. Now, I doubt I'll go back there to shop. read more

Staff was very friendly! Loved the huuuuge selection of goodies you offer! Glad you're back open!!

So many painting workshop classes scheduled through the winter. If you have a desire to learn to paint, or to brush up on your skills, check out their schedule and see if you want to learn to paint a cow, a sunflower, kids on the beach.... it's a great place to go, get away from the family, and go do your thing for a couple of hours. and they always have good prices on supplies. when you take a class, you get an automatic 10% off anything you purchase.. AND then when they have a big sale, you get that - PLUS the 10% discount.. So being a member of their painting workshops has it's benefits! A couple of weeks ago, they had 40% off paint brushes.. plus the 10% from the workshops so I got 50% off paintbrushes... Talk about SCORE!!!! So, don't sit at home.. Check out their schedule and see if you want to be part of a nice bunch of people. And I do need to put a plug in for the staff.. They are amazing. Everyone is so nice and helpful. The framing department is great, the staff up front are great, the store is clean, isles are loaded with color.. You get lost for hours. Go check out Jerry's.. Grab a schedule.. and think about getting out of the house, this winter.. go do "your" thing. read more

Jerry's Artarama - Painting workshop - Framing Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I have NO artistic experience, and I'm not sure if I have any artistic potential at all, but, I found myself with some time on my hands and decided to find out. Shannon and Lauren were working the day I went in and were fantastic. Very patient and not condescending at all. They put a nice little starter package together for me at what I thought was a very reasonable price. I'm still not sure if I have any talent, but if I do I'll go back to Jerry's to restock... read more

While I love the Art Store in the Green Hills area, Jerry's is a whole lot closer, and as far as selection goes, it's a lot broader than the Art Store. The Art Store focuses on drawing and painting, but Jerry's has a little bit of everything. There are rolls of canvas to buy so you can make your own canvases, which I recommend because the store bought ones are just not as good in my opinion. They have equipment for, it would appear, basic printmaking, although I will admit my understanding of this is slim to none, so someone of knowledge would have to check that out for themselves. They have aisle after aisle of paint and paint brushes, a place for framing in the back with a great selection, and the people that work there are super nice. I've seen art hanging on the walls from local competitions that they have held in the past, so I found that to be pretty neat. They have sketchbooks galore and the list goes on and on. I recommend it. read more

The workers here are SO NICE and so happy to help you. While also not annoying you which is great :) Their prices are good and if you sign up to be a member (free) you get 10% off your purchase! read more

What fabulous spot! Decent selection, super staff, and the best surprise was the 10% discount you get by joining their program at the cash register! We will be back. read more

I loved the huge selection of affordably prized canvases. I loved all the high quality sketchbooks and journals. I loved how my friends and family knew to come to Jerry's Artarama for my Christmas presents. However, even loving everything there is to this wonderful local art supply and framing store, the thing I love most about this place is it isn't Hobby Lobby. I am an artists who dabbles in mixed media and have a variety of needs for my projects. The only place I could go was Hobby Lobby, a place that is openly prejudiced against gays and lesbians. I hated shopping there. NOW, I have a wonderful, LOCAL place that had everything I could ever need. I love just going in an taking a look around at all the new and different resources they have available for artists, hobbyists, and general creatives. This is definitely my go to for all my art supply needs! read more

I really really like this store. Not only do i love the variety of art supplies, but i also live right behind the store!! LOL so i basically walk over just to check out anything new they have. I have bought several items there and each time i go there, the staff are always so helpful. Even if i ask them a stupid question they are never rude. Im from India and not familiar with artistic terms here in the US, so i learn as i go and they have never hesitated to give me advice. My husband bought me a wonderful easel and paints of all sorts there and they were all on sale. So quite a lot cheaper than the original price. The truth is, the prices are really high, and for "starving" artists, there should be a sale on all the time...which i think there is most of the time. But the quality is awesome. if anything, i would like to see more sales, and offers. To attract a wide variety of customers. This is the best art store for miles around and i bet it would do great business if they dropped their prices :) read more

I absolutely love Jerry's Artarama. The staff is really pleasant, they know the products, the selection of art supplies is great and the prices are reasonable. read more

The employees are courteous and helpful, but I came from out of town looking forward to Jerry's, and it's not a mega store. They were in the middle of stocking shelves at the new location and many things I needed weren't accessible yet. Several things seemed high priced so I didn't buy any high ticket items, I guess I'll continue to shop online. read more

I just walked in and out of there in a few minutes and had great customer service and a super helpful woman at the frame counter helped me pick out frames for about five different diplomas and a picture at a very affordable price. Very satisfied. read more

Wow. I really love going into this store. I'm not an "artist" in the traditional sense. I'm a musician who occasionally does art projects for my band, and also buys art brushes here to do my stage makeup with, as they are often of better quality and variety, yet less expensive than, brushes sold in cosmetics stores (this is what makeup artists have advised me to do). Anyway, so, when I come in here, it's with the excitement of a child. I have found that I've got a bit of a knack for watercolor, after working at it for about two years. So, that's pretty fun. But I don't have much time to pursue it seriously right now. Regardless, I LOVE this store. Just wandering around the beautiful gorgeous different colors of paint, the blank canvases, so full of promise, the artist's models, the brushes... the tubes and pots and jars of kaleidescopes of color.... it takes me back to being a kid again. For about 30 minutes, I could be in preschool, but like, I have money, and I get to buy a buttload of paint in psychedilic colors, maybe hit up some pastels. Cool, cool. The clerks argue about film and music and dress really weird but in a cool way and are all adorably cute but they don't seem to know it. It's like being part of a John Hughes film, which I always wanted to happen, but life is never like that. Here it sort of is. Happy sigh. It's like being in an indie record store. ;) The music is always different and I never know what to expect. Sometimes the crusty owner/mgr. guy comes through, like he's the Volturi or something, to like ruin shit, and suggests I take expensive classes (only $275!) and I'm all "These are not the Droids you need" until he goes away (there I just combined two decades worth of film references). Other than that bad moment, which is like a raindrop in my ROYGBIV, it's all oneness and beauty in there. I play, I do a little happy dance to myself in front of the enormous wall o' colored paints markers display, I pay, I leave. I've marked this moderate, but they have all from inexpensive to the most ultra high-end supplies here. Seek and ye shall find. Call or check the website. Stepping into the sunshine, I'm happy for this little corner of heaven, the Artarama. I'd like to end by saying I've only ever been treated like a golden dove floated on a pillow of marshmallow feathers on the lightest cloud. HAPPY SERVICE. LOVE. IT. And I'm sooooooo picky (read my other posts) read more

I love everything I bought from them. This is the biggest art supply store I've visited. They have large selection of colors, painting tools, canvases, etc. The price is a bit higher than Michael's but you should give it a try. read more

Awesome customer service! Had some canvases framed and they did an excellent job and very reasonable price compared to Michaels. They also honor Amazon prices. I'll be back! read more

I was recently in Nashville and went into the Jerry's Artarama in Antioch. It was very much worth my drive. I was so impressed on how the people working at the store made me feel at home right as I walked in. They have a sign in the front of the store that compares pricing to other art stores in the area and how much better the prices are at Jerry's. I looked around and they were not kidding. I saved over 45% on where I usually shop, or should I say used to shop. The manager Morgan treated me like I was an old freind and was so interested in my art and how she could help. This kind of customer service you just don't find. Jerry's, I think you are great!!!! read more

I love Jerry's! I went inside... with Michaels's style expectations (meaning less than high)... and was extremely astonished from the excitement and awesomeness Jerry's Artarama brought me! .. I had questions...They were promptly answered! Even before I needed someone or I could search for someone to help me a staff member was there way more willing to help! Knowledge based employees?... Absolutely! All the Employee's are experienced in the mind set of creativity and art and open to expressive thinking! Did I try out there recommendations? Yep...sure did and I am completely happy with the way those recommendations have turned out! An example? Sure I am happy to share... I sold a painting done with paint I have never worked with before, per there recommendation, for $1050.00! Thank you Jerry's Artarama's amazing, kind, and helpful staff! You helped pay my mortgage with your wonderful advice and experience! Much love with all my heart! read more
