General Info

Sam Flax is the premier art and design supply store in the South. But 100 years ago, Sam Flax was a person. A man with a plan, if you will. He came to America from Eastern Europe in 1898, when he was only seven years old. When he got a bit older, he said “whatever” to the Great Depression and started a successful art store. In the days when up-and-coming artists like Norman Rockwell and Zero Mostel were poor kids trying to get their paint on, Sam told them to “take what they needed, and pay him back when they could.” Sam was all about supporting the arts not only by providing a comprehensive range of supplies but also staying tuned in to the needs of the creative community. 100 years later, his kids and grandkids are still running Sam Flax stores by these same principles.

Overall

Our go-to spot for any art and design needs. They've got a great selection of high quality goods, ranging from art supplies, pre-made and custom frames, office furniture and creative gifts. This is one of those places that you come for one thing and leave with 3-4 because you find such cool stuff. I bought an office chair here to replace a terrible over-stuff fake vinyl one and while they offer top of the line (and expensive) Herman Miller chairs, I bought a lesser-known, but stylish brand that is super comfortable and has stood up very well so far.

good supplies for atlanta

It is true that prices can be high here, but there aren't too many other options in Atlanta. Be sure to check out the back-store "frame" room for cheaper frames as well as the occassional clearance table for sale items. They have a unique selection of greeing cards too, which I didn't expect.
