Perfect place, the people here are sweet and friendly. I came with a friend who is an artist.

10/10 recommend for all your arts and crafts needs and nearly everything in between. Shout out to Elena for going above and beyond to help us. We called ahead looking for a particular type of Strathmore 500 Bristol board that we desperately needed to make models for our architecture business. She was so very kind as to search high and low for it and put her hands on it to make sure she actually had it in stock before we drove the hour long drive to get there. And typically you might think “Well this is part of her job” and while it might very well be, once you’ve been to this store (or looked at all of my pics and videos) you’ll see how this might be a bit of a challenge. She took our number down, located the product, and promptly called us back. All of the employees that we saw were super nice and friendly, helpful. The store was HUGE, very neat and clean. Definitely well organized complete with everything under the sun. There was definitely a great deal of street parking in front and up and down both sides of the city block as well as a parking garage closer toward the back of the city block if you’re not good with parallel parking. Unfortunately they don’t have any public restrooms on site but there are plenty of places nearby to stop off if necessary. And there are also other locations you can visit. Pay this place a visit if you’re in need of anything ART. It’s definitely worth your while.
