Discuss: The best time of year to buy discount art supplies Submitted by bsherwin at 7/13/2012 7:14:25 AM CST

bsherwin: I can think of a few art supply stores that tend to offer discounts at specific times of the year. For example, the Michael's in my area often has reduced prices on canvas during the summer months -- followed by reduced prices on drawing supplies during the winter months. The Illinois and Missouri locations share the same discount trend.

Where do you shop for art supplies? Do you know the best time of year to buy discount art supplies at that location?
