About Us

ARTBEAT is a creative resource for families, offering exceptional art supplies, gifts and toys that inspire creative expression, and a WALK-IN STUDIO for guided creative play with mosaics, special paints, and papers. Our ART PARTIES for all ages are a family favorite.

We have stores in Arlington and Franklin, Massachusetts, and

our online store offers shopping 24 hours a day.

Take a brief tour of our stores.

The most meaningful gifts are those that are handmade. Artbeat's Walk-In Studio and evening Art Cafe offer children and adults the opportunity to make gifts all year long. Special workshops are held every Saturday afternoon.

ARTBEATÕ SUMMER ART CAMP






During the summer we have weekly themes with featured projects in different media: acrylic painting, mosaics, decoupage and sand painting; sometimes silk painting and metal working are added. Projects take about an hour to complete and can be taken home the same day. Our projects are suitable for ages 4 through teen and adult (yes, the range is that wide – we have an easy version of nearly everything for the younger set).

An Adventure in Altered Art

Wednesday, Aug 6th, 2008
6:00 to 8:30 pm

Calling teens, moms, dads, and empty nesters….

With school out, there may be no more lunches to pack, but there’s still a good use for those brown paper bags: turn them into art!

In this fun class, suitable for teens and adults, you’ll construct your own book to use as a journal or photo album, to record your summer travels, or to give as a unique personalized gift. The pages are lunch bags, and the cover is book board; you’ll learn professional bookbinding techniques as you construct pages, add handmade papers, images, inspirational quotes, beads and other embellishments to complete your altered book. All materials are provided, but you may want to bring favorite quotes or special objects to add to the mix.

This class is taught by Cheryl DiGeorge.
Class fee is $45 per person. Sign up with a friend and you’ll each receive a $5 discount.REGISTER NOW
