BUYER BEWARE! Heres the problem...Artist & Craftsman (A&C) in Squirrel Hill has the best selection of art products in the city of Pittsburgh, but their customer service is abysmal. After calling ahead to ask about stock on a particular item and being told that the item was in stock and available, I walked to A&C to acquire it. When I arrived, I learned that they did NOT actually carry the item I was looking for and was talked into buying a similar item in its place. I got home with the substitute, and as soon as I had it out of the package I could tell it was inferior. A quick writing/drawing test confirmed its shoddiness. I went back to the store 2 days later with my receipt in hand to make a return in accordance with the return policy printed at the bottom of the receipt which reads, "Return 30 days w/ receipt." Instead of accepting the return, the clerk told me they could only accept returns on unused, unopened items. When I asked for a manager, the manager repeated the same (like a lemming!), and then added that hed try to get the return policy on the receipt changed sometime in the future. I used to spend a fair amount of money in A&C for their selection alone. I may pop in to A&C to browse in the future but will be acquiring strictly online or from one of Pittsburghs many other reputable art supply stores. (Use Google, youll find them!)

Its often difficult to locate an art & craft store that actually carry art supplies as well as craft supplies. Artist and Crafts stock both, but I was so glad to see wall after wall of art supplies. Brushes, paints, markers, papers, canvas, all the standard supplies, and then some new things to challenge creativity. Everyone on the staff was kind, informative, and helpful. Prices are totally fair, and there are sale items. Best is the availability of both budget and high end, high quality examples In every category so you dont have to settle.

A&C has been my art store of choice in Pittsburgh for a while now. Theres an wide selection of goodies to choose from - everything from gifts for kiddos, to cool socks, to a ton of art supplies at varying price points. Additionally, the staff are always helpful and kind when Im on the hunt for something specific.

Amazingly knowledgeable staff who are typically artists. Great locally run business with an excellent selection of supplies for art students, hobbyists and serious artists. Really nice selection of arts and crafting supplies for kids.

Almost always have what Im looking for with reasonable prices. Make sure to tell them if youre buying supplies for a class--they can often help you find everything on your list and occasionally there are special prices for students!

I went in there one day and was blown away by how much stuff they had! Although I didnt find what I was looking for (styrofoam blocks), Ill definitely be coming back here for my other art supplies.

Best art store in the city. They stock artist-grade paints, too, which most places dont. (artist grade paints have a much higher percentage of their colored pigment than cheaper varieties do)
