CASS ART TURNED 40!
2024 marked a year of huge celebrations at Cass Art as we celebrated our 40th anniversary.
Cass Art believes in art. We know the freedom and creative pleasure it brings. So we want everyone to realise they can do it - and afford it.
BEST MATERIALS
Artists need the choice of all the best materials. We stock the top brands from around the world, as favoured by the UK's artists.
BEST PRICES
We negotiate directly with all the famous suppliers.
They help us, so we can help you. That's why our prices are as low as they can go.
OUR SHOP
The space is designed to help you and inspire you. Materials are organised and displayed just the way you want them. The effect is thoughtful and contemporary.
OUR PEOPLE
Our staff are artists. They know art. They enjoy working with what they know. They give you intelligent and thoughtful advice - no bluffing, no hidden agenda.
OUR NATION
We established our first shop next to the National Gallery in 1984 and remain independently owned. For 40 years we have been on a mission to fill this country (its cities, towns and villages) with artists.
OUR CEO & FOUNDER

Mark Cass, CEO and Founder, is a trustee of the Cass Sculpture Foundation, a British charity devoted to the promotion of 21st British sculpture through public commissions and exhibitions.

SUPPORTING ARTISTS FOR OVER 100 YEARS
THE CASS FAMILY
HISTORY TIMELINE
The Cass Art family have been actively involved in the art world and supporting artists for over 100 years. It is the tradition of creative entrepreneurship and the close relationships built with many famous artists over the years that has made Cass Art what it is today. It inspired our mission to help “Fill this town with artists”, making art available to the widest possible audience. This shows in everything we do, from our support of art education to our price guarantee. This is an insight into the journey that made us who we are today. Illustrations by Nina Cosford.
