In Westminster California, 1977 a tiny art supply store opened with a vision to sell supplies at an everyday discounted price. Our vision was that no special membership or student discount would be needed & all customers would get the same low price. After surviving humbled beginnings, there was an opportunity for expansion & in 1987 we decided to move across the street into a much larger building (where we are now). This laid the foundation that helped the company become what it is today. Over 40 years later, ASW has become a warehouse vastly stocked of the highest quality art materials at the lowest prices available. Whether it’s a friendly conversation about life, or giving expert advice about a product, we're here to help.
