History

In 1968, Gerald "Jerry" Goldstein and his wife Arline Goldstein founded Jerry's Artarama in Great Neck, a neighborhood of Long Island, New York. [12] [13] Goldstein had been managing a toy store in Long Island, in which he convinced his boss to stock art supplies, before he started his own business. [13]

Circa 1984, Venture reported that the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 810 led a three-week strike against the Queens Jerry's Artarama. [14]

In 1979, New York congressman Benjamin Rosenthal reported purchasing supplies for drafting a bill at Jerry's Artaramaas a disbursement on his contingency fund. [15]

By 1986, [16] there was a Jerry's Artarama in New Hyde Park, New York. [17] That year, that location released a 132-page catalog titled A Definitive Reference to Artists' Supplies. [16]

In the 1990s, Goldstein ran a Jerry's Artarama in Deerfield Beach, Florida. There, artists who had been student patrons during the 1960s and 1970s often reunited with Goldstein to let them know the impact he had on their art careers in their youth. [12]

As of 2013, the company offers over 70,000 art materials from various art manufacturers, as well as their own product lines via an online retail store, art supply catalog, and superstores. [18] The corporate headquarters are in Raleigh, North Carolina. [2]
