Art helps people reach a wide audience without shouting from the top of radio towers, provocatively dancing behind a local TV field reporter, or tying speech bubbles to migrating birds. Express yourself with today's Groupon to Jerry’s Artarama Choose between the following options:
- For $19, you get $40 worth of art supplies.
- For $24, you get $50 worth of custom framing.
Since 1968, the quality-minded staffers at Jerry’s Artarama have stocked shelves with multitudes of tools and supplies and helped artists show off finished work with custom framing. The comprehensive inventory fulfills artists’ every need, from acid-free blank stretched canvases ($36.07 for a 20-pack) to 10-gallon drums of inspiration. Lukas oil colors ($4.49+ for 37 mL) have been transmitting images from mind to paper since 1862 and regularly garbed the canvases of Vincent van Gogh. Light-fast Matisse structure acrylic colors come in a variety of prepackaged color families ($19.99+), from the frothy blues of a seascape to the range of blacks that depict being trapped inside a refrigerator box. Browse the sale section for deals on paper, pastels, and brushes.
Though prices vary depending on matting and glass choices, a custom frame can both protect and showcase a favorite 8”x10” or a beloved box of cereal in a Phoenix cherry traditional wood frame ($30.90). Recent grads can turn their liberal-arts diplomas into gold by encasing them in an 11”x14” custom aluminum frame set in chic frosted gold ($18.29).

The Groupon Guide to: Being a Good Friend
Though many of life's accomplishments are important—working as a reading tutor, not setting fire to every mailbox you happen to pass—only one accomplishment matters in the long run: being a good friend. Follow these friendship tips to separating besties from the resties:
• Every time you're drinking something, offer your friend a sip from your glass. If they decline, show them there's nothing to worry about by sterilizing your own mouth with a crème brûlée torch.
• Pick up the check whenever possible—but don’t stop there. Use your intimate knowledge of your friend to glean possible passwords to their online bank accounts and transfer their funds into a high-yield CD just in case they want to save up to go to college again.
• What's your friend's favorite animal? Do they own one yet? Could you conceivably get them one? Keep in mind that the word "impossible" was most likely invented by a bad friend.
