Founded in 1999, Oregon Art Supply in Eugene is an opportunity to acquire a long-established specialty retailer with a recognizable regional brand, loyal customer base, experienced staff, and a differentiated position in the professional art-materials market.

The business serves professional artists, university and college students, K-12 educators, institutions, hobbyists, and gift buyers. Its carefully curated product selection includes professional-grade paints, brushes, drawing and illustration supplies, pastels, canvas, printmaking materials, specialty papers, bookbinding supplies, portfolios, and studio accessories—many of which are not readily available through mass-market or craft-chain retailers.

A particular specialty in papers and book arts gives the business a distinctive niche with opportunities extending beyond the local market. The business also benefits from established vendor relationships, an existing e-commerce presence, an active customer email list, social-media accounts, and a strong reputation for knowledgeable service.

The operation is staffed and systemized, with experienced employees handling much of the day-to-day activity. The active owner currently works on a part-time basis, allowing a buyer to step into an established operation rather than having to build the business, staff, vendor network, inventory selection, and customer following from the ground up.

- Meaningful growth opportunities include:
- Expanding the online catalog and national shipping
- Developing additional school, university, and institutional accounts
- Increasing digital, email, and social-media marketing
- Introducing loyalty, membership, or recurring-purchase programs
- Hosting product demonstrations, artist events, and manufacturer-sponsored programs
- Increasing sales through more active owner involvement, merchandising, and promotion

The owners are preparing for retirement and will provide extensive training and transition support. A buyer is expected to have the opportunity to negotiate a new lease for the established retail location on terms similar to the seller’s current arrangement, subject to landlord approval.
