Established Near London's National Gallery
Cass Art opened its first shop at 13 Charing Cross Road in London in 1984. The site was near the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery, placing the business close to London's art and cultural district.
Founded by Mark Cass, the independently owned retailer expanded into other parts of London and cities across the UK. It marked its 40th anniversary in 2024 and continues to sell art materials through its shops and online store.
