A&C Supply is in a great location, which guarantees free parking in the middle of the city, and has more square feet of space than any other arts/craft shop in the city. That alone would be enough, but they also stock the thousands of square feet with supplies! They can arm you for probably any arts & crafts project you need tools or supplies for. I defy you to name an art project youre involved with or a craft you need to feed and test them. Be it painting, sculpting, welding, knitting... They even have an entire floor mostly dedicated to paper! The place is stunning, and its staffed with helpful folk who are artists and/or craftspeople. Theres always someone who can help. And most of them have been there for years. Its comfy.

Excellent craft store. Always super kind. There is parking down below but you have to walk up stairs then so be aware

We drove an hour to get there, and by the time we do, my mom (who has a disability affecting her bladder) has to use the bathroom. They said to hike two blocks to a train station so she tried to hold it. She ended up having to beg to use the bathroom and they humiliated her. She didnt make it home either. It was a wonderful way to treat someone who regularly spends hundreds of dollars at a smaller business(sarcasm)!

This is the BIGGEST art store I’ve ever seen. My husband went back to feed the meter because no way would I see everything before our time ran out.There’s a little bit of everything and many things I’d never seen before. It’s like walking into Wonka’s factory but with no calories.Some of the prices are a little high and some are good. Whether you need kids’ craft stuff, stretched canvas, paint & brushes, or a gift for an artsy friend, you’ll probably find it here.

I love this place!It was a horrible night in December, 2019. I was looking for a place to park right down the street on North Avenue around 6pm. I pulled into a space that didn’t permit parkingin that space, I realized, although the space ahead did, and there was a car parked there. So I put my signal on to merge into the lane and checked traffic in the side mirror. It appeared this guy was gonna let me merge, but that was not the case. Instead, hestepped on the gas and hit my left fender. According to the officer (and any reasonable person) it was a “Hit & Run” Geico, however, claimed I was at fault. So be really careful when choosing car insurers. The economic repercussions and emotional distress are far greater than a damaged fender. But though shaken, I was determined to get supplies.I was totally frazzled when I walked through the door. That’s when I met William and he’s been helping me ever since. For example, on that night, I had no idea my bag was open, until they told me. I was completely disoriented, so William walked me through the list in my head. But here’s the finest example of service. It was time to get a large canvas. But the one I chose was too large for me to hold, so William carried the canvas to where I had parked after being hit: the McDonalds on North Avenue. But even worse, however much we tried, it didn’t fit in my car. So we had to walk it back to the store, so I could select a smaller canvas, and William carried that back to the car. Now I don’t know how to adequately define that type of experience. It’s beyond good service. Guessing it’s more like «π».I’ve been a regular since 2015. Great place to buy art supplies and staff is great!

A bit tricky to find the parking which is around the back and down on a lower street underneath the bridge. And then you have to climb a set of steps to get back up to the store but a great store for art supplies

Horrible workers I was rang up by one of the male Caucasian workers and when I asked about the sign where you have to pay for bags he informed it was about to be a law for all stores state wide and when I asked another question he stated “I don’t want to argue with you” as if me being black made me argumentative he didn’t say that when the white person asked about it after me don’t spend your money here if you are black they obviously don’t want our business

I am an artist, but not have not had formal education. Due to this, I often have questions about things I dont use as often. What I love about this place is that they provide full answers to my questions as well as educate me on the use, and need for the items. I appreciate that a lot as it saves money and time.

An amazing art store so filled with crazy things you could browse for a week straight and not see everything. This place is way better than the typical art supply store as its packed with everything you need plus a lot of stuff you just want. Its a throwback mashup of old school toy store, art store, and oddities museum. Prices are decent and staff is great. Pro tip: there is parking on clipper mill rd so you can avoid scary North ave.

Its even bigger than my old Artist & Craftsman store back at home. It has 2 floors and many many great things for artists to buy for low prices. There are a lot of discounts but you may still want to price compare and check some things. Its situated in a great place in my opinion (close to an art school). Great store with nice employees. And you get a free tote bag too.

This store is essentially as it is an art store. While their selection is great and they have wonderful buttons along with gemstones as an addition to the normal art craft Supply, it can be a bit pricey if you are not an art student. But for those who are art students dont forget to tell them that you are because you will get a discount.
