About ArtSupply.com

History

Artsupply.com was one of the first domain names purchased in the field of art materials back in 1993.


Tim Kaufmann who worked in the Chicago art supply trade had the vision of a website to sell products on before many even heard of the internet.


He began the website in 1997, and later Robert Fredericks expanded it in 2003. Since 2003 the website grew and now has been a premiere online source of artist materials for over 14 years.


The website was used by Genesis Art Supply in Chicago, a local favorite of many Chicago artists, teachers, students and the community in general from 1997 to 2017. Genesis was a genuine independent art supply store loved by the community which ran from 1989 until 2017, employing many local artists and supporting many community events and organizations. Genesis Art Supply closed it's doors in July 2017. Artsupply.com is now is being run as an online store by Transend Inc. The new owners of artsupply.com
