Jerry's Artarama taking over former Utrecht Art Supplies space on Fourth Avenue

[August 2012]

After 30 years at this location, Utrecht Art Supplies moved away from 111 Fourth Ave. last year... during the summer of 2012 Utrecht had moved into a new store on East 13th Street between University and Fifth Avenue.

The space between East 11th Street and East 12th Street had been on the market... and now there's a new tenant: Jerry's Artarama. The 15-store art-supply chain, headquartered in Raleigh, N.C., has signed a 10-year lease for 4,452 square feet of ground floor space. Asking rent for the deal was $125 per square foot, per a release announcing the deal.

Jerry's is expected to open in early December.

Utrecht is moving away from Fourth Avenue

As you may have noticed, Utrecht opened a new store on East 13th Street between University and Fifth Avenue earlier in the summer...

Now, it appears that the longtime arts supply store will be leaving its Fourth Avenue home... store for rent lease have gone up...

Not much info, such as price, on the listing... though it does note that "venting is possible" ...

Meanwhile, this will make the second large storefront available for rent along Fourth Avenue ... Dryden Gallery recently moved to a new location on East 12th Street...
