Thank you for choosing Sarnoff Artist Materials.

Henry Sarnoff started his career in Art working as an Assistant Printmaker for the family business as a pre-teenager in Los Angeles, California. Southern California proved an excellent training ground for Henry to learn the Art business.  He went on to work at one of the oldest and largest art material importers in the country.  Henry’s wife has family from the Tucson area and one look at the beautiful Sonora Desert and Tucson’s lifestyle was enough to inspire the Arizona move.

Henry fulfilled a lifelong dream and opened a 500 square foot store in Tucson called Sarnoff Artist Materials. It was 1993 and Henry ran the business by himself. From the very beginning, Henry Sarnoff offered Tucson Artists the best in service and selection. The store has always been staffed by Artists who can both speak the Creative Professional’s language or help the student find his voice. Today, Sarnoff Artist Materials is 4,000 square feet and is staffed by 8 gifted and professional employees. Sarnoff’s is one of the nation’s best Art Stores with loyal online customers here and overseas.
