Join us AFTER HOURS at ARCH Art Supplies!
This event takes place IN PERSON on Thursday January 22, 2026, 6:30pm-8:30pm our store at 1490 17th st in San Francisco, CA. Please contact nathaniel@archsupplies.com with any questions regarding workshops/events at ARCH.
Think “Night at the Museum” but at the art supply store; the paints will come alive and the sketchbooks may bite. Well, not really, but it is a chance to hang out with your favorite ARCHie and make art in a chill, uninstructed, communal setting.
Enjoy a cozy hangout at ARCH After Hours with planner-obsessed ARCH employees. Bring your planner, journal, and New Year’s Resolutions for an unstructured, casual hangout. Take the time to reflect on 2025 and think ahead for the New Year.
We also encourage you to bring your own art supplies and a project to work on, or follow our prompt and experiment with samples of our various art materials. Hang out and enjoy a community of artists making together.
Each attendee will receive a $10 ARCH gift card, making the event effectively free! (Though any no-show will forfeit their gift card)
Limited snacks and beverages will be provided, but feel free to bring your own as well.

We will contact you using the email you provide at checkout to send you confirmation of the event and logistical information and for no other purpose.
