50th Anniversary Seal

Serving you for over 50 years, Lenz Arts offers the largest selection of fine art supplies and the oldest custom frame shop on the Central Coast. Described as "one of the last real art stores on the West Coast," people drive for hours to take advantage of our comprehensive stock and knowledge. From the finger-painting toddler to the professional gallery artist, we've got you covered!

 

A Mural was painted on our building in September 2021 by Jimbo Phillips as part of the Sea Walls Santa Cruz project.
