Rileystreet Art Supply
Remind that loved one who’s still paying their art school student loans what got them there in the first place—their love of making art.
Rileystreet Art Supply has been fueling creative passions in the North Bay for over 55 years—which means they know something about what your favorite artist really wants. With locations in Santa Rosa and San Rafael, Rileystreet is more than just an art supply store—it’s a local institution.
Year after year, our readers vote them the “best art supply” spot in their respective counties, and with good reason: They’ve got the widest selection of materials, tons of educational workshops and a staff that actually knows their stuff (because they’re artists, too).
Whether it’s premium paints, sketchbooks or that obscure tool you didn’t know existed (but will fall in love with), Rileystreet has the goods—often at a discount. Inspire creativity with a gift that says, “I believe in your art” (or just give them a gift card and let them roam the aisles themselves—a creative dream come true).
