Review №1

Ive been a costumer since they opened years ago. As an art teacher and working artist I usually dont shop here because of the high prices. As I ascended the stairs I saw a man coming down. He didnt make eye contact or greet me so I assumed he was a costumer too. I looked for the product I needed but couldnt find it or any employee to help me. I went back downstairs and asked if anyone could help me. The same guy said, oh I can. He pointed down to the location but didnt show me exactly where to go. As I continued to search I found the air dry clay I needed. They had a 5 lb box for $17 which is insane. Ive paid 18-22 dollars for a 25 lb box of the same product. I gathered what I needed and went to go pay. I asked for the discount (for being a teacher) that Ive always received in the past but they said it wasnt available for this product. They were kind or rude about telling me this. To add insult to injury, in my change I noticed a 5 cent coin from Bermuda. I will not return. This occurred on 6/11/21 around 4pm.

Super convenient and great prices. They have a wide selection of art supplies. Not a huge store. But they have all the essentials.

Had everything we needed and more. We got mats for photo frames, and there were so many sizes, shades, textures, and thicknesses to choose from. Really nice people working there, too.

Good selection of specialty items and staff is on top of keeping things socially distanced and safe- the cashier actually locked the door behind me cause the store hit their capacity of 5 shoppers! Bonus, found what I needed despite vendor shortages!

Westphal students at Drexel know what I mean when I say I might as well make a direct line from my debit card to Plaza. It has what I need tho.

Was able to get what I needed, but felt a bit unwelcome and cold shouldered from the attitude of the young male-presenting cashier I interacted with.

If you love arts, this is the place to be for you. Lots of exciting displays and they also sell some really good items for a price you can afford.

Its pretty overpriced when they arent having the 30% off sale, but they have everything for my classes at Drexel and are good at stocking things for students. Employees are usually helpful. Not sure if the rewards card does anything.

Bought a 22X30 piece of paper by the time i got home I noticed a big crease running down the paper I brought it back and was not refunded and had to buy the same piece of paper again. Hope the $2 was worth never having my business again.
