- When does ArtSkills go on sale?
- ArtSkills discounts cluster around back-to-school season in July and August and again before the holidays in November and December. Big-box retailers also clear out kits in January. Outside those windows, prices tend to hold steady.
- Where is ArtSkills cheapest?
- Large retailers such as Walmart and Target usually undercut craft stores on the Mega Art Set and the Essential Portable Kit. Warehouse clubs sometimes carry the larger sets at a lower per-piece price. Compare the per-item count, since kit sizes vary between stores.
- Which ArtSkills set is best for a beginner?
- The Essential Portable Premium Art Supply Kit is the simplest starting point, with a compact case that travels well. The Complete Mixed Media Art Set with Easel suits someone who wants to work on a tabletop easel right away. The Mega Art Set adds volume, not necessarily better materials.
- What is included in the ArtSkills Mega Art Set?
- It bundles colored pencils, markers, crayons, oil pastels and watercolor cakes in one case, with counts running into the hundreds of pieces. The trade-off is that individual pieces are small and the pencils are student grade, so heavy users will replace them quickly.
- What is the return policy on ArtSkills products?
- Returns follow the policy of the store you bought from, not ArtSkills itself. Most major retailers accept unopened kits within 30 to 90 days with a receipt. Check the specific store's window before buying a gift.
