This is the be all and end all of art supply stores, from oil paints and studio supplies to felt and googly eyes. Service is knowledgeable, informed, competent and friendly. Prices are the lowest in town, quality of products good. Do not go to Blick/Utrecht or other chain art stores while something this great is around! I have been coming here for 9+ years for all of my art supply needs. Stellar five star experience each and every time. And their vibrant selection of deep opaque, brilliantly colored spray paints... dont get me started. You really get a lot of bang for your buck and better colors than at a hardware store. Come here for craft supply needs & studio art supply needs & quirky novelty goods.

This is one of the best art supply stores Ive been to. I cant think of many times when I went there and they didnt have what I needed. Ive purchased pens, pencils, kids art supplies, stone for carving, paper of all kinds, paints, calligraphy ink, and archival quality storage. The only art related things I dont get there is frames and specialty paper (think unique designs or material - banana leaf or cork for example). For one the selection on frames is smaller and more expensive than a dedicated frame store and second the paper selection for things other than drawing, painting, or printmaking is not great. Despite those couple drawbacks this is my go to art supply store in town.

Extremely friendly staff will help you locate what you need, and if they dont have it on hand, chances are good theyll order it for you. Right across the street from a large pay-lot for parking (low rates), this shop is my go-to spot for all my art supplies. They have a huge variety of canvas, artboard, and sketching supplies as well as all the paint and brushes I could need. Also have a great selection of crafting materials and small toys and all at very low prices.

Well, I used to think Dick Blick was the bees knees, but today a friend showed me this place. As soon as I walked in the staff were super helpful and gave such a rad vibe, you could tell they really enjoy their jobs. Ive never seen so many art supplies, and I just about started 10 new hobbies just from wandering around. Really good juju in this place, Im definitely making this my go-to art supply store from now on.

This is easily my favorite art supply store, ever. The prices are very competitive, and the selection is over the top. They have everything from frames, to paper, to crafting supplies, to literally every medium known. The staff here always goes above and beyond to help me and teach me about new products, and even some process. They are your art friends! I roam the aisles of this place looking for my next creation.

The absolute best Art store in Seattle. The staff is always helpful and pleasant. Engaging and authentic, and respect diversity. Which is refreshing and not always the case in Seattle. It is one of my favorite places to shop and explore. Their classes are excellent. As are their prices and sales. It is a true store of the Arts, not just profit. It genuinely supports the arts community.

Not just your typical art supply store this is possibly the best store for any art project in the Seattle area! Every product to aide in your idea of art is available! The staff knows their products and are very friendly! The building is covered in artsy graffiti as are many structures in the vicinity! This is a grand area to capture graffiti at its best!

One of the best art supply stores you can find. Great selection of paper, notebooks, and the cheapest bulk newsprint. Havent scrutinized their paints, but it seems like a decent selection. Staf is great, super friendly, polite, and helpful. Theyre short on storage options though, so look elsewhere or online for things to organize all your supplies.

Free parking (as far as I can tell) across the street, as long as you finish shopping in less than two hours. Definitely one of the best art supply stores in Seattle. The staff is friendly and helpful and they have an amazing selection of products, including everything for hobbies and crafts to higher quality brushes, paints, and canvases.

Linda Sanders

Great store!! Absolutely better than any other around here including the big name stores. Excellent selection of paints and brushes with great prices. Clay and stone carving tools are abundant. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable and will take suggestions from you. I highly recommend it to any artist of any skill set.

Large and fulfilled art supplies store with a reasonable price. The parking is free 2 hours for customer. My first time came here was a great experience, Ive just taken my hands off everything there. Plus, many things are discounted. Besides, best thing is 10% off for students. Love it!

Sadie Sterk

This is my all one favorite art supply store. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. The prices can be a bit high but for the most part are reasonable and there are periodically great sales on canvases. A and C services many types of artists and have a decent online selection as well.

Trevor Marey

I was so impressed with this store that I felt the need to post a review before leaving their parking lot. Every member of the staff I encountered was incredibly friendly and helpful. The selection was above and beyond that of other craft supply stores. I will certainly be back.

Anastasiya Kochetova

One of the best art supply stores, hands-down. I really love the diversity and amount of products they have available, decent prices with a student discount (competitive with other art supply stores). Generally awesome staff, and the selection of unique products is up there.

I am not an artist, but my fiancée is. She loves this place, and it is easy to see why. They have every supply that she might ever want, all in one place. She works in multiple media (colored pencil, acrylics, and watercolors) and they have everything she needs.

David Carli-Arnold

This is a cute little store with a variety of arts & crafts supplies. Its honestly a fun store to just walk around in, just as much as it is a place to buy things. I will probably be coming back here if I ever have a crafty project that I need to get done.

Melissa Crosetto

Wide selection of products at competitive prices, but the staff werent entirely helpful. I watched many people in the store walking around aimlessly and the staff were chatting behind the counter. Ill definitely go back, but not for advice on my projects.

Edith Fuchs

Knowledgeable staff and great prices. Local place to buy stone for carving. I like it that they have the craft and student grade stuff alongside the artist grade. I buy both my kid craft project supplies and my artist supply here. Art classes, too!

Marianne Lundgren

Love this place. Its a cross between an art store, gob shop and a toy store. They have the coolest stuff, and youre guaranteed to see something, while in there, that stop and make you go, "Hey! I havent seen this since I was a kid..."

Artiom Prodeus

This is Heaven for artists Theyve got everything, from leather to yarn, from hundreds of types of paint to wood crafting supplies. Its easy to get lost in all the artistic goodies that they provide, at a fair price as well.

Tristan Heberlein

The best place to go in Seattle for art supplies. Ive never had to go anywhere else to buy the right pens, pencils, sketchbooks and other stuff related to creating colorful perspective, or plan-view landscape drawings.
