Serving LA Artists since 1944
About Us
Founded in 1944, Carter Sexton Artist Materials has been providing for artists in the greater North Hollywood area and solidifying our spot as North Hollywood's premier art supply store.
It was, and still is, a family owned business.
About Carter
Carter Sexton, a North Hollywood entrepreneur, launched his business selling drafting furniture to local film studios. When the shipping company wouldn’t deliver to his home, he rented the storefront at 5308 Laurel Canyon. With extra space to fill, he chose to sell art supplies, and the rest is history.
Since then, Carter Sexton has been a hub for working artists, including legends like Andrew Loomis and Pruett Carter, whose work was featured here until 2009.
To this day, artists staff the store, offering friendly, expert advice. We’re like family, and we’re here to help you find whatever you need to create your next masterpiece. Come say hello!
