I want to give them the Oscar for the good prices and the variety of products they have ...I will invite them to LA ...for the Oscars ....next year....(and hopefully they dont have to wear a mask)....they have such beautiful faces.... After the ceremony, I will invite them for a dinner party.... and the next morning well go to harvest honey from my beehives....One thing that I may add is just open a bit earlier... I hope they keep an eye for those invitations....
Ive been visiting and bringing my grandaughter here since she was in a stroller. They seem to have everything an artist or craftsperson or creative child could ever want. They also have interesting items like rocks, tiny animals and sea creatures, buttons...all kinds of discoveries if you explore the store. The staff is friendly and helpful.
The staff are amazing they are very polite and generous and also are amazing at helping people! I was on a budget and they told me while I was paying for my canvas that there are more cheaper options and showed me where the other canvases were. They definitely saved a lot of money by replacing a canvas for another better set! They also have all the art supplies I and maybe you will need if you are a painter but there are many more things that artists will need that this amazing store has. I definitely recommend this place if u are looking for art supplies or your an artist yourself!
Amazing store. It is absolutely gigantic on the inside?, with everything from painting, printmaking, sewing and gifts. Also huge plus is they are DOG FRIENDLY. The staff is very nice and loves my pup. I plan on visiting very regularly as it’s very easy to access from the L train (graham stop). Also, for last minute needs or rainy days——postmates will deliver from their store!!!
I was pleasantly surprised at how much variety this little store has cramped inside.I went in to buy mica pigments and assumed itd have just 1-2 samples of things, but was surprised to find theyd about 5-7 different shades for white alone.Everything is nearly stacked and the staff is helpful and funny!
Ive been popping in here once in a while for drawing supplies. The people here are always helpful and polite. They have everything you can think of for whatever youre working on. There are two floors packed full of supplies neatly organized, labeled and easy to find. Its my go-to for art supplies.
This is a great and very decently priced art supply store. Not only do they have a great selection of items, but they are way way way cheaper than graph aids and Jo Anns right up the street. If youre a student or a starving artist this is definitely the art store for you.
I am addicted to this store, though in truth Im addicted to most art supplies. Large selection of canvases from art alternative, decent amount of local (williamburg, bk) paint suppliers, and a decent kids craft section that has expanded. Really, the whole store has expanded several times through out the years, making locating items a bit of an adventure. Luckily, the staff is pretty chill and helpful. Also, great selection of quirky cards and small gifts. They certainly know their audience.
My go-to... they carry all high quality supplies and do a great job having things continuously in stock. I only wish there is a way to get a membership card so I could get some discount, similar to dick blick, since I shop there so frequently. Discount is only available to students and teachers. Staff is also very knowledgeable.
Well, if you are looking for a really expensive craft store that has all big brands and a really amazing retail space tis is not the place. This is a real artists place, promos all the time, all kinds of prices and formats to put your mind to work. It is the greatest place to buy art supplies that I have ever been. Definitely worth the visit.
Its a sunny late afternoon, and I walked in with a few others including while I was at the shop. No greetings or anything while they asked everyone else. They just looked at me and went away. I didnt know Im a ghost or is it because Im Asian and not your demography? Oh, or maybe youll be nice to me when I spend some money? Im truly disappointed as this location is closer to me, and it has a large inventory.
This place is a craft lovers dream. They have absolutely everything you could ask for. I come for the macrame/yarn art supplies and am always impressed by their prices. I love supporting local businesses rather than chains and am so thankful to have a place like this in the neighborhood! Thank you!!
Every member ofstaff has incredible knowledge on the products sold in store. They help me figure out some supplies i needed for a project I was working on and I am eternally grateful for that. I clearly wasn’t googling correctly but thank goodness for humans working in stores that are knowledgeable!It’s hard to fine customer service like this these days. Thank you!
I called ahead to ask if they had 24 tracing paper in stock. The guy on the phone says yes, so I bike over from Ridgewood. When I get there, they dont have any. Its clear the person at the store didnt check and when I mentioned it to the assistant manager he just gave me a shruggie. If you need something, dont shop here.
If not for the spray paint N markers, this Place would be great. The staff, ruin it except for one elderly man. The rest of the staff, dont deserve to have a job that when they work in it, they treat their customers like someone who didnt spend money with them. When I find the corporate office of this store, Ill make a complaint so worth listening to, I see no reason why I wouldnt get a complimentary gift. W.e I wish it be.There is one staff member that I would have to say if not for his arrogance, then this store would get an easy 5star. Stores beware....if Im your customer, then on ur tippy toes I expect you to treat me or any person spending money in your store. Any person who knows anything bout making money knows that one is never suppose to reject making money or, make remarks on not having to sell what if they dont, they will lose out on money making. Ive spent and spent. Yet I am with not cordial greeting or treating. Go to this store with the attitude of owning the place. For the employee, the one I refer to, will treat you like you arent about to spend money. When this employee is gone, this store with be much better.
Clueless and rude salespeople. Bought $100 worth of trinkets (some were glass) and asked by apathetic cashier if I needed a bag. Uh.. am I supposed to stuff these things in all my pockets, and maybe my cheeks?? Do you usually sell only to chipmunks?? Stop getting high at work! Was never greeted and when I asked about the price of something was talked to as if I should have known and how dare I ask for the salepersons help. Managers, tell your staff to bathe and wear deodorant especially if they are around your customers, otherwise have them work in the storeroom so that customers dont have to walk through walls of your workers body odor. Maybe give out deodorant (and soap) as part of a welcome kit to your employees. All I have to say about this store is yuck, and gross. The A&C store on Broadway is a way better experience!!
I give this place for star because sales person seems to have very little knowledge about art and I purchase a 48×60 canvas frame I ask for string so that I can tied the frame to the top of my car and they told me I have to purchase the string even though I spent $250 but otherwise they have everything you need I was a little excited when I walk in also I must mention they are not cheap.
The worst service ever! Please dont buy anything from there , I bought glow color medium and the guy that work there told me that I can mix it with any kind of acrylic, he was wrong and gave me wrong product, I didnt want my money back just to replace , really bad service !!
This store has a massive selection of pens books cloth/fabric, etc. The employees not only adorable, are extremely helpful and know where everything is, this store is divided upon two floors, in case you wanted to know *you also get a discount if you are a student or teacher, and Im not aware of the other discounts

2022-02-01My favorite art supply store! I am an all-around crafter and 9 times out of 10 they have what Im looking for or what I need for a craft project. Very convenient for me, and there hasnt been an employee here that I have encountered that didnt know or wasnt willing to find out information that I asked. Whether it was an artsy question or a question about a product. Only thing if I had to say anything negative is that some of the price points have skyrocketed due to inflation and demand of certain items but its not too overpriced that if I needed it I wouldnt buy it.

2022-07-01This place is cute but drives me crazy. Every time I go in needing a craft supply thinking surely they will have such a basic item it is sold out. Who ever does their ordering makes me want to scream. Go in if you’re bored, not if you need something.

2021-05-05May 5? 11:06lost my temper at the printer. the printer was backed up on a log of bukowski poems i wanted 2 print out last year. i have to take breaks often when i go out now, feeling incredibly haggard. i guess i will go to paris soon and stay w/ pierre. i finished working on something that ive been working on for awhile now, this is always depressing for me.

2021-12-27First time I went in here I thought, “this is a nice and well stocked art store.” I was correct, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. This may just be me, but this art store seems high key cursed. Something bad happens to me every time I go in there. The manager just kind of stands there, watching.
