Art Studio

Established in 1938 at 17 Broad Street, Red Bank, New Jersey, Colorest is one of the first art supply stores in Monmouth County.  In the late 1970's, Carl Gailing and George Klodin, Sr.  formed a partnership and expanded the business, selling art supplies and offering custom framing services.  They re-located to Shrewsbury Avenue, Shrewsbury, New Jersey, and in the early 1990's George Klodin became the sole proprietor of Colorest upon the retirement of Mr. Gailing.

Klodin, along with his sons George and Ken, continued the operation of Colorest, moving the business in 1998 to its current spacious and convenient location at 160 Newman Springs Road, Red Bank.  Upon George Sr.'s passing in 2001, his sons have successfully carried on the Colorest tradition, fulfilling their father's dream of having a family business, where the customers are known by name and the service is friendly and personal.  Colorest remains one of the oldest family businesses in Red Bank.
