Great place for high end painting supplies at a discount but the price was still too high for me. Lots of types & sizes of canvases and good paper/sketch books. The store does have an assortment of other media like screen printing supplies, markers (copic), color pencils, and pens. Unfortunately since having a little bit of everything there are not many choices for each media. Store does have some yarn but horrible choices for the small amt they have. The store is definitely worth going to at least once to check out the selection for yourself, you may just find the one thing youve been looking for, I did.

Outstanding depth of selection in a well laid-out store. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I love shopping here and find that even if certain items might be cheaper at an online retailer, the value of seeing the items in person in this charming brick and mortar store is well worth the few cents extra you might pay. Besides "just" art supplies, its a wonderful place to find gifts for kids or creative people in your life. I love this store!

Employee-owned, chock full of quality art supplies. Anything you can imagine, theyve got or can get. From paints of every kind, papers & canvas to leather, airbrush and fabric supplies...its here. Prismacolor, Faber-Castell, Liquitex, Golden, Speedball, Caran Dache, Fimo, Staedtler, etc...Wonderful gifts as well. Watch for their excellent demos.

It was the friendliest arts store I have ever been too. My daughter is a college interior design student. We always find what we need with helpful knowledge staff. Unlike the snobby unknowledgeable staff at Michaels at Lakewood Towne Center. Never need to go there again. I recommend this store to anyone who is a serious or for fun artist.

These guys have the inventory, its awesome to have a place in town that is youre go to store for art supplies. They have supplies for all levels of artists from childrens finger painting to very Advanced skills. This is a must check it out place if you are in any way art inclined.

There are so many neat art supplies here! This place is massive! Definitely worth a trip to check out what they have, especially if you are creative or crafty. There are plenty of great gift options here too. Its also in a fun location near other downtown shops.

I shopped at their Seattle location before moving down here to TACOMA and was elated when I saw they were opening a location. If you need art supplies check them out. Finally a tear (or two) above Michaels within decent driving distance. Staff is good too.

I am not an artist, per se, but I could spend hours looking at all of the supplies and tools they have. The prices are really great, they have a huge selection, and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Very friendly place, helpful staff, and an amazing selection of art supplies. Everything is arranged very well. An inspiring place to look around, even if you dont go there with a project in mind.

Anna Barrett

This store is great! They have everything an artist needs. And their products are not overpriced like other art supplies stores. Its a good place to just go and putter around in too.

They have a pretty great selection. Some stuff is a bit pricy but they also have cheaper options. Its a pretty big store with an upstairs as well. I would definitely recommend!

Awesome employee-owned store with the best selection in Tacoma. The staff are friendly, the prices are reasonable, and you dont have to order all your supplies online anymore.
