This is my favorite store of all time. Before the first time I went, I was a little anxious about the name your price set up, but its actually a lot easier to name a price than I expected. They have items color coded according to suggested price range which is very helpful. The store is a little cramped, but thats because its full of a bunch of art supplies. Ive found quite a few great items here. They have stuff for pretty much any type of art or craft.

Cool little place in the OTR neighborhood of Cincinnati. Arts and crafts resale shop but done kinda different. Spending some time in here is pretty easy to do. During covid time you are able to schedule a time to shop. If you are into arts and crafts definitely worth a stop. Also have kids stuff, kits and such.

Fantastic!! Bringing reusing and recycling to crafting. Pay what you can pricing

Great place to find a variety of gently used are supplies. The day I visited they had acrylic, oil, and watercolor paints. Lots of different oil pastels. Charcoal drawing sticks and graphite pencils. Watercolor paper, newsprint, sketch books. A variety of yarns for knitting, crochet, and needlework both natural and synthetic fiber. Needlework needles, and circular knitting needs Tons of intresting fabric scraps, zippers, buttons, snaps and beads. Sewing machine thread. Various picture frames, cardboard tubes. Decorative paper scraps for mixed media projects. Crayons, pens, pencils, markers.And a lot more!Its a real treat going to Indigo Hippo if you love thrift shopping and art supplies.Everything is priced on a sliding scale so each person can pay what they can afford. The proceedes go to a good cause.

Love Indigo Hippo! Always find what Im looking for for current projects, future projects and more! So many good finds for such great prices. Love the mission and the people at this store!

WHAT A COOL PLACE. oh my gosh. I live in Indiana and will DEFINITELY make the trip back to Cinci just for this place.

Great place with such a great idea! Lots of great items!

What a cool store! If you are looking to get new and gently used arts real cheap, this is the store for you.

Lots of great arts and craft finds. Very clean and well organized.

Love the idea, wish I had one near me. I picked up art supplies for things I been wanting to try but didnt want to spend too much.

Awesome place, huge selection and great people.

I LOVE this store! Must visit anytime I visit Cincinnati. Love checking out their beads but always find numerous other things in other categories to take home! This time I got beads, stamps, bells and a few other things. I also like to donate when I come. Makes me feel happy I can contribute to others creativity and joy! 💜💜💜

Really love the way you can price the items. Also, their selection is huge! If you go digging you can find so many great things!

Great place for the artist in all of us...

Love this art store!! Staff was was incredibly helpful and nice. Following proper safety measures. Huge supply of art supplies, at excellent prices. Cannot wait to visit again!!

Why cant the whole world be just like this little shop?

Helpful, friendly staff. Lots of stuff to sort through.

I love what they do from the pay what you can to making up craft kits for kids during lockdown. I really respect these guys.

Great place for mixed media supplies.

Have been donating here for a while. They require an appt. to donate or shop (materials are all donated and shopping is free). Very smart. The process is very easy. Talking to employees on the phone is always pleasant. Sometime I will shop!! Just glancing thru the window, it looks like they have a very plentiful and eclectic inventory.

I could spend hours browsing here. Im not much of an artist but the store still gives me inspiration. Every time I go they have different things. They let you pay what youre able to pay as well, which is awesome. They also have some things from local artists that they do charge a certain price for but they are still really reasonable and beautiful.

This place is awesome! From supplies to help your child complete a school project to supplies to try if you want to start a new crafting hobby to supplies for small home projects....Indigo Hippo has got you covered! Oh, and by the way, everything is donation based. Pay what you can afford!! Donate what you can. Side note: staff is always super respectful and helpful, music is always soothing!

This was absolutely nice. I found what I was looking for. This a great place to get things you looking for to do many different projects and crafts. Dont throw away things you not using that others can use. Donate it forward. I dont have photos to share today.

Art thrift store. but fyi they don’t have purple hippos there 😢

Indigo Hippo is a wonderful shop full of delightful surprises. The staff is friendly and helpful, the collection of art and craft supplies is diverse. I am thankful that our community has this place to continue acts of creation with materials that others have donated!

Indigo Hippo is an artists or teachers best friend. I love going here and getting supplies for myself or my creative workshops. No matter what project I have at hand, theres a 75% chance that Ill be able to find what I need at this place at a extremely ridiculously cheap price.

Great people and a great place! Affordable art supplies as well as craft materials. If you didnt think you needed it - you do now! Very courteous staff and genuine.

Super cool idea to benefit those seeking to reuse art supplies. They have a selection of all types of crafting supplies: cloth, sewing, office supplies, small plastic and wooden pieces, painting, even some books.Its a non-profit with flexible prices for anyones price range. They used card only due to Covid-19.Be prepared to pay for parking along the streets.

Indigo is one the dopest stores on main St. Pay what you like. Make sure to buy stuff as well as give stuff away there. Love the store!

Amazing place to source art supplies. As an avid sewer I love going here to get interesting notions and fabrics. Great staff and the pay-what-you-can model makes it accessible for everyone.

Great place to find supplies for a new hobby or project on a budget. Employees were cheery & helpful. There is 1 steepish step to get into the store then the store is accessible for standard size wheelchairs.

Full of inspiration to create. Tons of materials to work with and donations coming in constantly. I bought fabric and will be back again. The workers were kind and willing to help you if needed. Plan to spend some time looking and have a few projects in mind to make the most of your time. Have change for the meter parking.

My favorite shop in Cincinnati, hands down!

Pay what you can! Amazing

Great staff, knowledgeable! Most important businesses in Cincy to community!!!!

Ahh... I really miss this place.price? unbelievably cheap. Collection?you will find what you want or similar items eventually. Level of curiosity and alchemy? Infinity... I found some great dolls and jars over there that I could not find anywhere else with 10x price

Whats not to love about getting yarn cheap! I love all the arts and crafts stuff in this store. It is so much fun to browse through. One never knows what she will find. Indigo Hippo is an inspiring place!

Interesting experience. The prices are amazing because you practically pay what you want! The only thing is, is that you cant find exactly what you want but it is a thrift store for art supplies so i cant say much. This place is cool!

Such a fantastic store. Please go and support them as much as possible. So many amazing supplies and trinkets and treasures.

Such a wonderful resource. I love going in here and never knowing what I might find. Art thrifting

Best place ever...the friendliness of the helper was well worth the drive over the river.. I could have spent hours there. Thank you so much for opening the store.

Indigo Hippo is a Cincinnati gem. Its hidden away in plain site and doesnt make a lot of noise but boy is it a treasure trove for artists amatuer and pro alike. Do you need some crayons or some paint? In search of some local crafts peoples we work for cards or candles? Need to spruce up a frame? Or are you just looking for inspiration? Well they have everything you need. They take art supply donations and their store is pay what you can, so its perfect for finding that one little thing you didnt know you needed at a bombshell price. I am often reminded of Shel Silversteins Hector the Collector; to one person this might be junk but to so many more its treasure.

An awesome idea and concept for a store! I found some good deals on an old pentair lens (the old school gold standard of black and white photograpy) and a some unused and unloced resin for$$. Great way to give unloved art materials a second chance and a way to help out teachers and poor artists

Pay what you can art supplies? Such a powerful message in the art community. “Art is for all and accessible!”

I loved this place. The people were so sweet. The items for sale are unbelievable!!!! I could spend my whole paycheck😊👍😊👍😃

Really cute with a great selection. I love second hand stores and the thought and heart behind this stores concept is great.

Most incredible staff, so friendly! They have tons of supplies and little things to get crafty with at a low price and you can even volunteer to help out there! Highly recommend, definitely my favorite art stop.

Very cool place. Has all kinds of odds and ends that you may need for any craft. They run off donations so dont just throw your stuff away! Donate it!

Is a great spot for the starving artists and broke college students of Cincinnati to fulfill any and all of their projects. Always a great way to spend some time to get inspired as well.

Incredibly thought shop, run by thoughtful, caring people

A wonderful happy place! Full of interesting and interested people. Piles! Mountains of stuff, items, supplies for being creative.

Fantastic spot to pick up almost any craft supply you need. Its also a great place to put together a crafty gift for someone (like grab a little box with paints and a brush). My kids love to pay what they can, they can always afford to get art supplies even if they only have change.

Like the best antique mall married with a fabulous craft store. May be my new favorite place. Joann and Michael who?

This is an amazing place. Non profit, must visit for any artist. Art supplies from markers, fabric, sewing notions, to seashells, artbooks or things you never knew you needed for your next project. Make offer on what you find here, proceeds go to a good cause. This is quite the gem in our city!

Its a pay what you can art supply store. You can find some really awesome stuff there!

A Crafters dream. Love this place so much. Find stuff you didnt know you needed!

Nice amount of odds and ends. They work kind of off a pay what you want model. Founds a number of good sewing patterns

Never there,so you tell me

Great for artists who are looking for new material, and/or who can’t afford things they’re interested in. A huge variety for such a little shop!

Creative reuse stores are my jam & I make it a point to visit Indigo Hippo whenever Im in Cincinnati

I love this place! You never know what you might find or how you will be inspired to use it.

We are so lucky to have an art supply thrift store! You can always find amazing things. The staff is always friendly.

Really cool Thrift-type store for art supplies. they take donations and have a lot of random items and things you might not be able to find in a traditional store

This place is amazing!!! You wont find anything like this place around. The staff is amazing am super friendly. Love seeing what comes in an the treasures that are hidden to be found for the next artist to explore with possibilities are endless with this store.

A wonderful art and crafts supply thrift shop that my family and I love to visit. We have all found unique items to create art projects with. The pay what you think the items are worth more than fair. Thank you Indigo Hippo 🌞

Very casual feel. Staff will answer questions and help you find things you cant locate on your own which is helpful because while things are loosely organized, you can easily overlook some hidden gems if you dont take the time to really comb through the selection. Prices are super thrifty and affordable. Highly recommend!

Its a nice place with a pay what you can model. I didnt exactly find what I was looking for here (not much crocheting stuff, just knitting), but anyone who is into arts and crafts would be in heaven in this store!

Everyone is super friendly! Theres a ton of awesome art supplies that are very cheap.

Love this shop! Being an art major this store makes my classes a little more affordable. The idea of a pay what you can thrift store dedicated to art and art supplies is truly magical. I will be back very often.

This was definitely the highlight of my first trip to OTR! Such a great idea and its executed awesomely!

Great place to donate or buy for teachers at a discount. Great for anyone. Love the store!

Super cute store! I love the concept and mission statement - I think everyone should stop in and check it out!

Best art supply store Ive found

Always get an amazing bargain from this place!

The kids, husband and ihad so much fun at this store finding treasures amongst the art supplies. The cashier was super friendly and was great with the children.

This place is fabulous! A mix mash of everything under the sun for your art work. Its a thrift shop environment, dig for your finds. Great if youre a recycler and reuser!

My favorite Cincinnati locale. Craft supplies of all sorts in a quirky environment. Love it.

I donated items to this store long before I ever visited (someone else delivered the items) and I love it! I love its mission and the entire principle on which it operates. Im starting a new business offering Inner Child creativity workshops and the selection of paper and colored pencils, markers and crayons was awesome. The selection is very broad and youll find items that dont necessarily fit into the art supply category. If you are the least bit creative, I recommend you stop in this store.The staff was extremely helpful and knew the stock well. It is a donation based system and while they do have things coded to a recommended range I was still a bit apprehensive about what I should give. The cashier suggested an amount about half of what I was expecting so I gave the amount I thought it was going to be, it was still an incredible deal.When I do my workshops, I will encourage participants to bring along any surplus supplies they have laying around and will donate to Indigo Hippo on their behalf.

Its a treasure store, you can find a lot of necessary arts and crafts material for a truly cheap price! I love it

Love love love this place!! This has to be my favorite craft store in the entire world, and you bet Im driving over an hour to get there. The price is as good as it could possibly be with helpful staff, and a huge variety of secondhand art supplies from hanging equipment, to chalk pastels, to stickers, buttons, and zippers, to even a pasta machine I found last time I was there! Take a visit in and you definitely wont regret it

Great thrift shop where you pick the price. The whole store is run on donations!! You can find anything for a craft project here.

So many cool paints and art supplies. Its a great concept.

Pay what you can non profit artist store. The selection was quite vast and you can find unique items.

So much there and nice people to meet.

I love this place, great deals on art supplies donated by people not bought wholesale or retail.

I love indigo hippo. such a cute artsy place to get cheap, quality art supplies!

Soooooo much stuff! A crafters heaven....you could spend hours sifting through all the random stuff. Everything from wallpaper samples, to school supplies, and machine parts. So, so cool.

Me and my Family and Friends love this place..Beautiful people and such a Lovely place.Thanks for the smiles and great service 👌✌

Not well organized but if you enjoy digging around in a thrift store environment for art supplies on the cheap, this is the place for you. I took off two stars due to the lack of organization.

I always find something magical at Indigo Hippo. Staff are always super helpful.

Great idea...pay what you can arts and craft supplies

Being an artist, its nice to have a discount store!!

Really neat little second hand art store, affordable and quaint with a wide selection of art and craft supplies

Great place to find all sorts of craft supplies and misc trinkets & treasures, friendly staff, flexible prices ☺️

Great store, you can find so many things for the price you want.

Has lots of gems to be found, super friendly staff!

Great variety of items, fairly well organized.

Great place to declutter...or reclutter!

Interesting. Lots of stuff for artists

I didnt even know this place exist and it is wonderful, its a little eclectic but absolutely pleasant.
