I feel so lucky to have this store so close to home. It has the best inventory and prices. The staff is super friendly and I just love shopping here! Thank you Rileystreet for inspiring me to keep on creating!

Excellent customer care!!!! Always helpful all the workers are also artist. I always feel respected and understood also they give a discount for professional artists! I would spend all day there if I could see guys my next trip home!!!

My first time in the store and Im new to art. A staff member was very helpful in finding the things I needed and helping me make choices among options. I will definitely shop there again.

Poor customer service. Very lazy staff.

I LOVE this art store, however one of the workers forced me to put on their hand sanitizer, which caused me an allergic reaction..I told her I am allergic to chemicals and I use my own natural hand sanitizers..yet she attacked me verbally and almost threw me out of the store, so I tried the offered hand sanitizer to be able to go in ! (and unfortunately had an allergic reaction)..I have been a good customer for years and this was so unprofessional and overly emotional scene, which didnt have to happen..once again I LOVE this art store, the staff has always been amazing except this one stressful experience..

Always a great store, they have just about everything and folks are friendly and helpful.

Top notch art supply!

I came in to buy a birthday gift for a friend. The staff was so helpful and very kind. I will definitely be back.

This is one of the places I really enjoy visiting. Everything you need to embrace and exercise your creativity! Lots of fun stuff, I buy all of my greeting cards here!

Best selection of high quality paints and brushes in town, plus literally everything else you could possibly need. Love that they offer a discount to Dominican students! Also my favorite place for random little gifts.

I love this place, I live close by and go often. I make crafts, different types. If you are a true artist, this is the place for you. But as a crafter it is great too. They give classes and the teachers are very good. My last discovery here are water color pencils. Great place for gifts too. I have bought many cool bags here - for make up, gifts, for shopping. Great variety. My favorite is decorated with sugar skulls, another is a mermaid theme, all made from recycled things. The brand is Blue Q, and some other brands too. This place is a definite 5 star store. Check it out, its worth it.

This is a wonderful homey little art store! Great art supplies while maintaining a family friendly and community oriented vibe.

Good selection of art supplies at good prices. Nice store and friendly staff. I will be back!

Great art supply store, you can find anything from easels, to brushes, to pastels, to notebooks. Also they have a great selection of thoughtful artsy gift options. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Fabulous offering of all art supplies and kind, very smart people to help you.

Excellent selection of all sorts of pens, pretty much every color/style of jelly roll, calligraphy pens, and sharpies you can dream of. Also offer art classes which is cool. Also! A decently sized childrens section of art materials including glitter, puff paint, and creation kits :)

The place is big, clean, bright and packing every single art need you might ever have. If art stores arent your thing, its still fun to walk around and check things out.Even if youre not the art type, youll still manage to find something of interest in the place. Whether its testing pens, sorting through a long and twisted piles of markers or watching one of the ongoing art classes, its not a bad way to spend a few minutes of your day.

As an artist who has a love for drawing, painting, sketching, and crafting this place is my #1 place to shop and the prices are amazing, staff is wonderful and everything is so homey

Service is excellent and the advice actually comes from people who are artists and know what they are talking about. If youre talking to someone who doesnt have the specific expertise they get the person who does. I enjoy going here because they normally have a good sale running 🏃 that will save you money.

Good price and choice!

It is an awesome store the staff r very helpful and kind....they offer all kinds of different classes and supplies there, and when they have a sale its even better.....

Hard to negotiate narrow passages in wheelchair; otherwise, I Love this place! Every product Im likely to need in my Art Wanderings, and then some. If they also made thermofax screens (like another local art store I know) Id never shop anywhere else.

Serious art supplies for the serious artist, gifts and cards for relatives of artists to purchase, a kids section, racks of the most beautiful handmade paper youve ever seen, and set classes, talks, and contests, in a terrific part of downtown San Rafael.

Found this little place on 4th street in San Rafael. I bought an art set for my grandson. That came with a sketch pad illustrations and colored pencils he loved it. They have everything.

Great place for art supplies....it aint cheap to be an artist u know.

Nice, dog friendly (!) place. Nobodys pushing you to make your selections. You can take your time browsing, theres art on the walls, theres a long table with chairs where they presumably host art events.

Has a great selection! Most of the things Ive gotten here were things Id never found elsewhere. The people are nice and helpful too!

A great place for art supplies. Their selection of frames, paints, brushes and more is all I need.

Nice people and a great assortment !

Very helpful employees 😄

Very good downtown business with helpful customer service and selection.

Great Art store. Complete with all styles of products for the many forms of art. Classes are sometimes held in the facility. The staff is friendly and knows the store.

For a beginner, the shop is an overwhelm of choices, but the shopkeeper readily and cheerfully shopped my supply list for me. Great place!

Big, bright, so many different supplies, and love the card assortment, some by local artists.

Lots of selection, helpful and knowledgeable staff!

I wouldve liked to give this spacious store located downtown San Rafael at least 4 stars but the faculty is vague.I see an ever changing staff which prevents me from forming any kind of bond or even someone to count on to know something about my art projects.I have lived in Marin for over two decades and I tend to have many long term friends in every one of the 13 villages.But this place is lacking of the warmth which comes when you walk into say Dharma Trading and feel right at home.So, when I bought an acrylic pen to paint a sign, I was told I could either return it or exchange it if it didnt work but when I took it back a week later, a woman named Michaela said that they can not return products which have been opened.I didnt mind that so much except that the other staff members had told me it would be okay.This type of contradictory misinformation being given out from numerous staff members over other store policies as well ( discounts etc,.) have led me to wonder what types of ethics the owner of the store has.I will stick to Dharma Trading Company for as many of my arts and crafts supply needs as possible so I can avoid this place.

Love this store every thing i needed right there

Fantastic store, great Staff, incredible inventory, convenient location.

We had great customer service when we couldnt find what we were looking for and/or too high to reach.
