For years now, Hindustan Trading Company (HTC) has been known for supplying wide range of art materials to professionals in the city. It has been a one-stop mecca for all artists in the city. Madras Art Store (MAS) on Alwarpet is a unit of HTC and was started in 2016 by its young proprietor Amritha Venketakrishnan. Amritha intends to retain her family’s legacy and yet create a concept store that addresses all needs of professional and amateur artists.

Located in a complex near the Alwarpet flyover, Madras Art Store is on the left side. This curated store has everything from art pads, quilting ruler, handcrafted stamps, 3D stickers, painting brushes of all possible sizes, calligraphy pens to imported canvases, wall decor paints and acrylic paints in all forms. Infact, the neatly arranged stack of all these products will awe you and you might end up hoarding stuff. MAS is the place where you find a little bit of everything you have always wanted to have to pursue your hobby or simply as part of your collection. Their collection of craft papers and art paper rolls are amazing! Also take a look at the collection of easel wooden stands.

The store is a wonderland for artists and amateurs, who can walk in and pick what they are looking out for after going through massive amount of choices.
