Okay, here’s a clue to a secret code word that retailers and bargain shoppers know all too well:  BOGO.  BOGO is short for “Buy One Get One”.  Shoe sellers do it all the time…buy the right shoe, and you also get the left one.  (Or at least that’s how it is where I buy my shoes.)  At Utrecht, we have made up a new word:  BOGOHO.  What does BOGOHO mean exactly?  “Buy One Get One Half Off”.  Until June 15th, all of the Utrecht Brand Stretched Canvases are BOGOHO.  Buy the first one at regular price, get the second one (the cheaper one of course) half off.  Also until June 15th, we are offering Large Tubes of Utrecht Artist Oils, Large Tubes of Utrecht Artist Acrylics, and Pints of Utrecht Artist Acrylics on BOGOHO too!  So drop by and stock up.  Next month, maybe we’ll teach you what GMROI means.  (That’s when the real fun begins!)

We are pleased to announce our very special Buy-One Get-One 1/2 Off Paint Sale. Now through June 15th, 2008 - buy any of the Utrecht Brand paints listed below and get one at half the regular price. Mix and Match! Only at your your local Utrecht Art Supplies. 

Save on:

• Utrecht Artists’ Oils - 150ml Tubes

• Utrecht Artists’ Acrylics - 5oz Tubes & Pints

• Utrecht Artists’ Acrylics - 2oz Iridescent Tubes

• Utrecht Artists’ Watercolors - 8ml Tubes.

Hi Art Enthusiasts of Salt Lake.  Welcome to the new Utrecht Salt Lake City Blog!  Our aim is to be an online destination for creative people to find out about the goings-on in the local art community, share art tips & techniques, announce local art shows & events, and of course, since we sell art supplies, we’ll keep you informed about our latest sales, bargains, and new items in the store.

My name is Paul Rock and I just started as manager of the Salt Lake Utrecht store.  I actually worked here a while back but wandered away to Tempe Arizona in a quest to explore a desert existence.  After 3 years I figured out what they mean when they say “it’s a dry heat”.  Now I’m back and am just starting to settle in again.

For those who are unfamiliar with our store, we are located at 1025 E 2100 S inside the Peterson Art Center.  Utrecht SLC is a full service art supply store carrying products from hundreds of national brands.  Although most of our customers are professional artists, we also serve many students from area art schools and colleges, as well as plain folks who are just itching to get creative.

Utrecht prides itself on carrying top-quality, professional grade art products at the lowest prices possible.  Whether you’re a professional, student, or novice, our most excellent staff is here to help you bring your creative visions to life.

In addition to selling art supplies, all of the employees at Utrecht SLC are artists themselves, each with our own specialty.  I work in Watercolors and Acrylics, and rest of our staff has interests in drawing, printmaking, pottery, bookmaking, and airbrushing. We don’t just sell art supplies; we are active members of the local artist community.  Art is our passion, and we feel lucky to work in an environment where we get to encourage that same passion in others.So drop by sometime if you’re looking for art supplies or need help with your next project.  We’d love to see you!
