They have a large selection of painter’s supplies for the beginner and the experienced. I gave two stars because my experience with the staff working yesterday morning wasn’t pleasant. My friend who accompanied me was ignored when asking for help several times. We seemed to be followed and watched as if we were going to steal. I see now that a couple others in these reviews have shared this experience.We left without buying anything because it became so uncomfortable. It was upsetting to see how we were treated and how our morals were prejudged based on appearances, I suppose. We have money and are working artists. It was insulting to be treated as such. We definitely will not return to this location again.
This place is amazing! They have an excellent selection of materials for all ages and for every style of art. Beyond that the building is well organized with good parking, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable and will be able to help with whatever you need...beginner all the way to professional. Highly recommend.
Great selection of art materials! For beginners as well as the pros. I always find exactly what Im looking for and the variety is really quite remarkable. You can purchase great quality for a reasonable price. I have been going here for years and will continue to do so. By years I mean 46 of them. Also, the staff is friendly, polite, and extremely knowledgeable. If they are unable to help you out for some reason, they are always open to steering you in the right direction. If that means sending you to a competitor, so be it.
Heaven, you can find anything related to art for good price.
Be warned! You will end up spending at least 2 hours on a single trip! Anything and everything you can possibly want will be found here. Its an art lovers dream ♥️ Extremely organized, clean, well stocked and friendly staff. The variety of products and brands is unimaginable. A little something for all ages to enjoy! Happy Art-ing!
I have loved this store for the longest time. They have a wide selection and they carry some of the best brands for all kinds of art and crafts. The only thing I would warn other consumers about, is if you buy loose pens (outside of the packaging) that people can test before they buy, they dry out really quickly. Other than that, it is really wonderful that you can get a good look at the product before you buy.
First time visit during tax free weekend. Service was okay. I spent alot of time walking around and I felt followed by employees. But prices were fair and they have a great selection on items.
Best art supply store I have been to. Good products decent prices.
Usually great service here but I feel like its been getting more careless lately?? Bought a bunch of art supplies today but when I was ringing them up, I told the cashier to put back a conte set of 12 ($20) and he did, but when I got home I realized I was still charged for it even though I asked him to put it back for me. Now I cant even ask for a refund because I dont have the item.
Very friendly staff with an excellent and large selections. Highly recommend them.
Great stock. Need a few more people to help customers.
So much to look at. And the coloring and activity books they have in stock is amazing. Definitely took us a few hours to look at everything.
Had what I needed and the employees were kind and helpful
Mushy hashbrowns, eggs good, bacon could bring more crisp. Noisy, all hard surfaces. But, probably will go back. Chicken enchiladas were good.
Theyve got everything you can think of! The inventory is out of this world. The staff is very courteous, helpful and friendly.
I love this place! My son is a graphic design major. The people in this store are super helpful and knowledgeable when I come in with a list of supplies for my son and have no idea what I should be looking for. The store always has everything I need so need to run all over the place looking for stuff.
Highly recommend for art supply shoppers because they have more than what you will find at craft stores. Excellent source of supplies and folks who know about art. However, not a good place to work. I only worked there a short time, and I was let go via text. I had know idea that there were problems. I had been very fourth right and honest about my disabilities, and that I work with a job coach, and vocational counselor. The management and higher ups lead me to believe they understood, and were able to work with me. The areas that they felt I was struggling, the only trained me one day for each area which is not realistic for anyone. When my job coach tried to communicate with them, and try to get feedback before and after being fired. they never responded. Which to me speaks volumes that the higher ups didnt want to deal with me, staff were not able to work with folks with disabilities, and they didnt have the cuts to admit it. They did not give me a real chance.
Omg this place rocks!! I think this store has every single thing for art that I have ever wanted and a lot of things I had never even seen before. You gotta check this place out and make sure you give yourself a lot of extra time to browse around because its packed full of interesting things. I lost 2 hrs when I walked inside today
Love wandering the aisles here. I can use coupons to get general supplies at Michaels or Hobby Lobby, but for the serious stuff, this is it! Bought a simple watercolor brush set that should be all I need.The manager gave me a tip. She said I should not mix my brushes used for watercolor with brushes used for acrylic painting. It may say for watercolor and acrylic, but use it for one OR the other. No matter how thoroughly brushes for acrylic painting are cleaned, in time they will collect residue that would affect watercoloring.Texas Art Supply also has many types of metallic markers. The fine point I wanted was here. Plan to go back to wander so more another time, have to pace myself. Have my eyes on three (quite a bit more expensive) Princeton brushes for acrylic painting!
Very helpful from staff that are not intrusive. Well organized clean store with a wide variety of art supplies. Only problem is I spend way too much everytime I go!
It always smells like a warehouse, but they have a huge selection of great art supplies and idea prompting literature.
Love this place. Everything I need at prices that are cheaper than the large chain hobby stores. Great people that will help in any way possible. The variety of brands of art supplies and quality of materials are tops. You got to see to believe.
As an artist I have visited this location more times than I can ever remember. They are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about all in stock products. If they dont have it they are quick to check the other locations for you and arrange delivery or pickup. I like this location in that it never feels as chaotic as the Montrose location ( though love that location too!) Lots of easy and available parking. They are also great about letting our fur babies shop with us.
Great place for all types of art supplies. Good prices on everything. They have lots of paper, paints and a ton of coloring books.
Everyone listen up!!! Local Guide Kitty Meow here and I have to say this Texas art supply has stolen my heart today ! TOMAS (the best associate ever) has helped me turn a purchase into a memorable experience! The selection at this store is endless for all your artistic needs and I cannot recommend this place enough! TOMAS even took time out of his shift to helpe wrap up this gift! Staff is great, selection is great, store is well kept, and they sell an array of different tools to boot! Thanks again !
I stopped in to buy my daughter a gift card for Christmas! I was immediately overwhelmed (in a good way) upon entering the store. They have quite a huge variety of art related items/products! Erika, the employee working at the cash register, was very nice and helpful! I look forward to bringing my daughter back to TAR with me soon! Yayyyyy!!!
Large selections of everything an (aspiring) artist would ever need. This is not a hobby store. Certainly, a one stop shop for art supply store. Weve previously ordered from their website as well. Easy and quick. Would highly recommend the store.
Has everything. A very knowledgeable staff to help problem solve.
Huge art supply store with everything you need and more. They carry a large selection art furniture as well. Prices are reasonable. I have ordered from their website also and found it very easy to use and convenient. Professional and aspiring artists, like my daughter, will appreciate it.
Best selection of actually art supplies. Not as much craft as say Hobby Lobby or Michaels.
Great art supplies.
So much better than Hobby Lobby, Michaels or Joanns. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. There are so many wonderful, high quality goods here. I always end up coming in for one small thing and leaving with 5.
I love the friendly people.Also, you can find everything for your art projects and ideas.
I always say Ill just buy one thing and then i walk out with 5....but I love them
If you need supplies for any type of creation, this should be your first and only stop. The staff is friendly and helpful, especially Erika. Look forward to future trips.
So much to look at. Artist haven.The books!! All the art books are what surprised me! Man, I could just stay there for hours and looks at all the beautiful books. I want to visit again and take my niece. She would fall in love here.
Friendly employee, helped looking for supplies for art class and offered student discount
Not great at all. Asked for help with art supplies as gifts for my niece. No one helped. I asked again and the young lady seemed overwhelmed by herself. A gentleman came up and started helping other guests, when she asked him to help us he said I guess. I had been waiting patiently for help but he seemed perturbed for helping. Going to a different art supply store.
I absolutely love this store. Browsing the aisles makes you want to buy more than what you came in for. It’s organized, clean, and the staff is nice. It’s my go-to spot for art supplies.
I love this place! Has everything I need for my Interior Design classes and more! I come here regularly for my supplies now 🥰
There is nothing that they do not have! If you are into anything even remotely related to ART, this is the place to go.
Very nice and organized place. Great customer service also
Great, comprehensive art supply. Very nice selection of supplies for kids plus a nice, broad book selection and furniture (easels and drawing/ drafting tables).
I love this place so much! From roof to bottom art supplies. THEY HAVE EVERYTHING!!!! I love it so much!
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Store is neat, well organized, and inviting. Pricing isnt overly inflated and they offer quality products 😊
Nice, friendly people working at this location and the best selection of supplies in town.
Very pleasant and helpful staff
I always enjoy my visits here! There are so many craft projects and supplies for whatever new project you may enjoy! Lots of gel pens and other mediums. Adult coloring books, canvases and paint for amateurs and professionals. I found erasable pens and a really nice hard cover journal! Always a good experience and good finds here!
Great spot for picking up art supplies for all artists of many different mediums. Very helpful staff, that can help you with ideas for how to tackle your projects. This place is big, so if you are looking for something specific; best ask for help locating your item. Otherwise go through the isles and maybe some new inspiration may strike.
Huge, varied selection
Im always able to find the art supplies I need. The floor staff really know their products, and are kind enough to answer any questions you might have about using the materials.
Greatest of all time with friendly staff. Hope it stays forever
Staff is super knowledgeable and always friendly, lots of help offers 👍🏽 They have most of what I need and what they dont carry (which is pretty rare) are things that I wouldnt expect to be easily stocked at most places. Definitely THE place to go for art supplies. This place is like Christmas day every visit with my 10 year old lol While we cant always buy everything he wants (cause he wants basically everything) we often leave with materials to try a new hobby 🖌🖊🖋🎨
I enjoy this art store, I feel like customer service here has been great! I do admit as an artist I do wish there were more paint options on spray paint and other materials or better offers too. Over all it is expected for an art supply store to be this way could have better assortment, but for the location its great to have one.
Love this place❤
Awesome selection and friendly workers! Unfortunately they dont have a lot of wire supplies but still worth the trip.
This place is great.
Im not an artist but Im taking a class where I needed reasonably priced art supplies. I found everything I needed and walked around curious about other things. The customer service was good, pretty chill nice people. Bonus: a student and teacher discount.
I LOVE this store!! I could spend hours in there! I love Art and Art supplies. They have a fantastic selection of coloring books and mediums for use in creating awesome pictures!I always enjoy visiting this place!
This store has a vast array of craft and Art supplies. Mostly likely you can find what ever it is you are looking for. The 4 star is because the staff isnt always as helpful as they could be. In the mass amount of small items on a shelf, sometimes it can be hard to find exactly what you are looking for. Its great when the associates can and are willing to help.
Great place to get supplies. Love there variety!
Love this place. They always have what I need and at a reasonable price.
You will definitely find everything you need for your crafting/artistic needs here! I spent an hour alone just looking around and when I finally got to shopping I was able to find everything that I needed and at a decent price as well! Hands down I highly recommend this place if you need any kind of art supplies!
Support this incredible group of amazing Artists! Socially Distanced and Friendly atmosphere! My Favorite Art Store in the Universe!
Everything an artist needs is there. Excellent store!
Kind of disappointing. Was looking for starting kit for my daughter. They did not carry it. Had to go somewhere else.
My budding artist 11 year old niece and I could stay here all day! We went 3 times together. This place has EVERYTHING. Staff is very nice. Prices are fair, some items slightly above online prices, some below. Be careful... its very easy to spend way more than you initially planned, especially if you take an 11 year old and let them walk the cart up and down each aisle
I love the selection of paints, brushes and paper for my watercolor needs.
Great selection of hard to find supplies.
Helpful staff, decent prices, had what my kiddo needed for her art class
This place has never let me down, for when I need to start and finish off a drawing project. Like today for example I needed a art pencil in burnt orange (or as close as I could get) I found a pencil and a marker. They saved the day again. I bought individuals ($6 )instead of having to buy a whole box set that costs over $100...
We walked in ten minutes before closing and got greeted with a smile and helpful staff. Their selection is always great. I could happily spend a couple of hours working my way through the aisles. Its their customer service that makes them my go-to, though.
Staff is so nice and helpful. Selection is out of this world, to the point where a non-artist like me was overwhelmed. Only got to browse through half the store and still felt this way. Testers for pens are clearly marked so I like that aspect of quality control too. Lots of brushes for all needs! Got some nice synthetic oval watercolor ones Im excited to do some blending with.
Always has been my go to for quality art supplies that no other place carries .
Went for the first time and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Store is really clean and offers a huge variety of items everything from different types of paint to a large variety of pens and craft supplies. They even had more to offer than Michales and prices are on average a little cheaper as well, will definitely be back!
This place has so much more in like quality art products than Michaels and hobby lobby. I loved it and spent a while buying my stuff. Only 4 stars but would be five if I dont feel like I was being watched like they thought I was going to steal from them. I eight products and going back for more. Maybe next time they will be less obvious and see that I am a real customer. I customize sneakers and this place gave me more options all across the board with texture and colors and everything art.Well went back to this awesome store. And just left feeling prejudged because the color of my skin. I butwanted to get some more paints but left after a few purchases because I can tell I was being swarmed by the workers following and watching me. Im no crook, and not broke. I dont steal. I will return to get some more later. Maybe third times the charm where I could be treated like a normal person. I took it down another star to three. Only because of stereotypical assumptions.
I am just an Uber driver, but I take a lot of artist here from inside the loop. I know they have everything. Looks like a really nice shop. I can say this its the biggest one of its kind in Houston.
Best prices in town. Most selection of specific supplies. We can find a 5x7 landscape ring bond multi media sketch book here and no where else. They also do programs and events on the weekend. Very knowledgeable staff and helpful. Our favorite art supply hands down.
I keep forgetting about this place, as a cosplayer it is great for finding little things you cant find at Hobby Lobby or Michaels. And it is also great for back to school items that are out of stock at other places. My Daughter loves this location when she comes to visit she stocks up on art supplies.
This is an artists paradise, everything an art student, architecture, drafting., design . things you cant find anywhere else !! And prices even better than amazon . amazing !!! Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable
They have everything and anything art related!
This store has a huge selection for ANY artist weather you are a novice or do it for a living. Paints, clay work, wood work, glass work and a great selection of books to. Check with store for classes.
The best art supply store in the country, nonetheless the great state of Texas! Definitely better than Blick, which is /really/ hard to do
I adore this place! They have all the hard to find art needs and a big variety of what youre looking for! You normally leave with extra stuff you didnt know existed to make your project a little easier or better! 5 stars everytime.
Excellent service and selection. Service was exceptional and all my questions were answered and out of the way help was provided.
Excellent selection of drawing and art supplies. Very little staff interaction, but was not seeking it out either. Reasonable prices.
Loved this place! It seems they have everything I could think of. Even acrylic outliners that are uncommon in North America. This is a paradise for those who is looking for really good selection of art supplies. Consultants do know what they have in store and always ready to help. Wish I would have anything like that where I live.
Texas Art Supply always have what Im looking for.
Great selection of supplies for working in almost any medium, plus a large area with books and gifts. This has been my favorite art supply store for 30 years.
Super HELPFUL STAFF! They are so polite and do not hesitate to offer assistance. Cool and calm personalities all around. My new go to art supply store.
Still my favorite place for art supplies
I love this store. Everything you need to do art is here. Nice people too.
I didnt get to see much since I was late and only had about 20 minutes, but it was enough to see that they have everything
Its always a great time when I come in to buy my supplies. Well, except for my wallet. I sometimes end up buying more than I need.The staff is very knowledgeable about their products and quite friendly.You can approach any of the employees and theyll usually be happy to help you out with most anything you need.And if not, theyll usually find someone to try and help you out and not try to BS you to buy some bogus product.
