Probably the best place in DC for paper and origami and book binding materials. Not a massive selection, but definitely the best in DC.Staff is helpful and really friendly!

I rarely write reviews and this is certainly overdue but needs to be written!!! A few weeks ago I needed a tube of burnt sienna desperately and I had reached out to them 15 minutes prior to closing on an evening where there was an intense storm pouring. Without having to say a word, the young gentleman that works there offered to have me pay over the phone, wait for me to arrive, and bring the paint to my car. The lovely lady that works there also stayed on the phone with me until her colleague found my car and delivered the item to me. If I lived in the area, I would absolutely be a regular and although I don’t, whenever I am nearby and need to purchase some materials, this is where I’ll go. Wonderful people with incredible customer service, and that was my absolute first time purchasing an item from them. Thank you again for your help that one crazy day! I really appreciate it.

"I cannot recommend Plaza Artist Materials & Picture Framing enough! This art shop is simply amazing. Not only did they provide us with free scrap materials for our recent event, but they also went above and beyond by letting us borrow an easel for free, helping us transport it to the venue, and even picking it up for us afterwards. Their generosity and support were truly exceptional and greatly appreciated. In addition to their willingness to help, the staff were incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful. They took the time to listed to our needs and provided expert guidance on materials. I was blown away by their level of service and care. I can confidently say that this is the BEST art shop in town and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Thank you, staff at Plaza Artist Materials & Picture Framing, for being such an integral part of our successful event. We couldn't have done it without you!

Great service! Despite a cracked painting, the team discounted the cost of stretching my painting and explained the reason. Frustrated that it's cracked but thankful for the kind service.

With Plaza Artist Materials I found a strong competitor to Blick. A great selection of notebooks for sketching, drawing and watercolor that I used to only find on Amazon but now I can buy here in person. Stop by this store for sketching, drawing and painting supplies. They also have canvases and supplies for oil and acrylic art, knitting, and other art mediums that look interesting. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Prices seem reasonable.

the materials here are all great but the boss/manager woman can stand to be a little kinder to customers. i went to ask her about a certain material & how i could use it in a project i’m doing & she made it seem like she couldn’t be bothered with me. it was very rude & made me not want to come here in the future.
