FLAX art & design

Independently owned art supply store that has everything you need for your artistic endeavors.

The East Bay’s only independent art supply store, FLAX art & design has been serving the local arts community since 1938. Conveniently located in Downtown Oakland, you’ll find everything you need to fulfill your creative inspirations, including art materials, fine pens, fine and decorative papers, picture frames, craft supplies, notebooks and journals, boxes and ribbon, stationery, kids’ stuff, gifts and more. As our customers often say, FLAX is a “candy store for the creative.”

FLAX art & design has become an icon of creative inspiration and a Bay Area institution. Staffed by knowledgeable artists, designers, and musicians, the store is visited regularly by residents, established professionals, serious students, weekend dabblers and hobbyists alike. At FLAX you can awaken your inner Picasso with tools, supplies and gifts for every artistic passion and all age levels.

FLAX is conveniently located in Downtown Oakland, one block west of the Elihu Harris State Building at MLK and 15th. We are a 5-minute walk from BART, either the 12th or 19th street stations. FLAX has free parking in our back-parking lot off 15th.
