An Artistic Fiesta Takes Shape at Michaels
As if artists needed another excuse to unleash creativity, Michaels has cooked up a month-long fine art extravaganza for August that’s bound to get you reaching for those paintbrushes. They’re ushering in Fine Art Month not with a whisper but a shout—hand-crafted canvases and palettes in tow. Now that's a celebration of creativity, if ever there was one!
Diving Head First Into Hands-On Creativity
Every inch of Michaels' stores and their online hubs morphs into a utopia for art enthusiasts this August. It’s a grand spectacle with a slew of freebies: in-store events, demonstrations, and open workshops all aiming to get those creative juices flowing. Each week offers a healthy dose of unpredictability, enticing both seasoned brush wielders and newbies alike. They’re gunning to make creativity not just accessible but attractive, with deals and BOGO offers scattered like confetti on everything from Prussian blue to graphite pencils.
"More people are rediscovering the joy of creating with their hands," says Michaels’ Chief Merchant Officer, Stacey Shively. Ain’t that the truth?
From Aisle Browsing to Masterclass Learning
We’re living in a world itching to unplug and Michaels is capitalizing on it. Enter their open classroom sessions—every Tuesday and Wednesday evening, a haven for those looking to dabble or dive deep into new art mediums. Plus, inspiring leading brands like Staedtler and Liquitex are part of the mix, showcasing their tricks and trades at their workshops. On Sunday afternoons, the creativity doesn’t let up as guided art demos push patrons to splash some color on their Sundays.
Evenings with the Experts
For those who prefer to paint in pajamas, Michaels is also serving up a platter of online classes. Think acrylics, portraiture, and watercolor, broadcast thrice weekly—all led by industry maestros. They've even got a celebratory finale lined up with a student showcase; kind of like the icing on an artistic cake!
Rollout of Premium Supplies and Big Discounts
It isn’t just about the experience—Michaels is also dishing out a bonanza of premium art supplies. During the month, paints from renowned brands like Golden and Winsor & Newton hit the shelves, alongside drawing tools and artist-grade papers. The variety is designed to cater to every skill level, sparking interest from the curious dabbler to the professional virtuoso.
Stock Up and Save Big
If discounts were any deeper, Michaels might sell out the entire stock. Artists can snag deals like 'Buy One, Get One 50% Off' on sketchbooks or 'Buy 2, Get 2 Free' on canvases. Teachers aren’t forgotten either, considering they can stack a 15% discount during this art-fueled shopping spree.
A Community Celebration Beyond Sales
At its core, Fine Art Month at Michaels blossoms into more than just a sales event. It’s a vibrant congregation uniting artists under one exhilarating roof. Michaels not only sells art supplies, they foster art’s heartbeat. And with over 1,300 locations, they are making sure no creative soul is left out of the picture.
Hit up their social media too, and from August 22-28, there’s even a giveaway. Picture winning top-of-the-line brushes and paper pads. Now that's a sweet deal!
