Since getting new owners I’m noticing a greater and wider variety of graff stuff. From caps to Low-high pressure cans. They carry streakers,prestos(empty) ink & a bunch of krink mops n such now too. Really nice to be able to go in and grab what I need n go about my projects

Great little store. They seem to be in stock of what they have. I’m from Dallas, and the art store there seems to run out of certain pigments and products (Covid chaos) but also maybe because there are so many more artists in Dallas city. I don’t understand the name of this establishment. There’s not much about elephants or anything but I like it, I just always forget what the hell it’s called. It’s fine. Over all this store is organized and sweet and in stock. Not a chain.

Great little art supply store. Very nice selection considering its small available space compared to bigger box stores. All kinds of supplies for your creative art needs. I typically go when I want some inks for fountain pens or dip pens. Finding parking is the only chore.

Support a local Olympia institution! Now POC-owned! This is actually the only place in Thurston County that I will get my art and school supplies. They are always super helpful and can order supplies if they dont carry in stock.

This is a really awesome mom and pop style local shop. I dont know how an avid artist will fair, but I went in to buy gifts for artistry friends and the staff was super knowledgeable and helpful.They took time to figure out what would be the best gifts by asking questions and looking at artwork, and in the end were extremely helpful.Ive gone in for a few personal supplies and been delighted with the quality of the merch.

Kinda pricy and not a very welcoming vibe, however the item selection was great! Lots of newer and modern art materials. Good place for a quick art stop not an artist hang.Great neighboring area anyways.

I had a long list of things I needed today, but couldnt get within five blocks of Olyphant. For an arthritic with a walker, thats a substantial barrier. When I called to see if the store had any ideas for me, I got, Parking is catch as catch can on the street. A little empathy would have been nice, but I suppose I understand. Ill try to forgive you for it not mattering that I cant reach you if you promise to forgive me for ordering what I need through Amazon. I really, really miss the other location(s). I know it was tiny, but I could actually get there. Best wishes, Olyphant.

First time in and I was expecting better customer service than going to a box store. The young lady working completely ignored me, but made a point to greet everyone else engage with them.

Review №36

For a small shop, they had a decent supply. The prices were a little higher than I can find elsewhere, but I normally wouldnt mind paying more to support local stores.My biggest issue was that the two staff members that were present never once tried to engage me while I was there. In my 15 minute visit (during half of which I was the only customer inside) they spent the entire time complaining to each other about social issues.I get it. You have beliefs. I neither agree nor disagree with them; however, I do find it a bit amusing that you complained about how low sales were while I stood debating between several products.And yeah, I probably couldve interrupted and asked, but it really makes me uncomfortable when its a somewhat heated topic between people I dont know. The customer shouldnt be made to feel like they are an interruption or inconvenience.

Excellent selection of materials. When asked, they said discounts were only given to people who worked in the immediate downtown area. Typically students and professionals are provided some break on pricing.
