This stores restores my belief that the cat lover to artist pipeline is real.My 7-year old daughter is both so I was so happy to discover this store right before the holidays. For professional artists, this store has everything you could ever want but I found the store just as enchanting as a casual browser.I especially loved all the unique craft kits that allow children to make everything from mini food to erasers to galaxies. As a stationary lover, I was impressed with their Japanese notebook and pen selection, as well as cute kawaii accessories like a leather cat pencil case which is now my daughter's most treasured possession.The store was clean and the workers were friendly. I'll definitely be back the next time I am in the area!

They have Copic marker colors I need that Michael's doesn't supply. And one of the clerks helped me figure out the perfect paper for my style of mixed media, and I have switched to using it for all my client images. Very thankful.

A great place for those if us who still appreciate a good art store to buy their supplies. Used their framing service too and was very happy with the outcome. Staff are VERY pleasant and helpful in finding those weird items you might need for art classes. Discount program is also an added perk

Mostly fine art supplies and some gift items. They have things that the big box stores don't. For example:* Lino blocks and inks for printmaking* Handmade papers* Floating frames for canvases* Lots of brands of paint for watercolor, acrylic, & gouache (including: MameriBlu, M. Graham, Daniel Smith, Winsor-Newton, Golden)* Transfer paper* Huge selection of sketchbooks/blocks/paper and drawing/drafting supplies* Paint for Leather* PortfoliosSome of the gift items include interesting pencil cases, travel art supplies, and socks.They also do custom framing.

I love this art store. Sad that I don't have any closer to home, but when there's an opportunity I pay a visit to this one. Every time a visit it, it's a creative inspiration to be surrounded by so many art materials. This is not a craft store, it's for art enthusiasts. Customer service is great, they're knowledgeable and patient.

First time visiting this local art store and will be my last. Went to the store to get custom framing done and waited awhile. While waiting we weren't acknowledged during the whole time. Another customer came in the store wanting custom framing done as well and they were asked if they needed assistance but the customers asked if we were helped first as we were infront of them. The other reviews about different treatment based on race is true. We left the store and decided to give our money to a business that will treat their customers better. I will not support a business like this. I would rather give it to another local business that treats their customers fairly.

I'm an idiot and spent five minutes wandering the aisles until I found the spray paint at the front of the store. The staff is friendly; though I didn't run into the old lady that other people seemingly have had trouble with

Terrible environment. As an artist that enjoys learning and talking with other creatives this is not the place for that. The staff was rude and unhelpful, thé elderly manager was incredibly disrespectful and acted as though it pained her to help me find the supplies I needed. She then proceeded to whisper to her staff about me behind my back and gave the worst customer service I have ever seen. Sad to see such a poorly run art store when there aren’t many left.

As an artist, I just love coming to Plaza Artist, I love being met with wonderful staff who greet you when you walk in. You're surrounded by quality art products and supplies. It's hard not to stay in here for hours. The selection of products, supplies, tools, and furniture (art desks and stuff) always blows me away. Personally, I go FERAL in the sketchbook and paper sections. There are so many quality paper and sketchbooks. I might just come back with the excuse of needing more sketchbooks. The staff is very knowledgeable if you have any questions and friendly too! Don't be scared to say excuse me, you'll be treated with care :) My university recommended we get our art supplies from here and ever since graduating from university, I still make the 45 min drive from where I live to come here. I love this place

If you are white maybe you’ll enjoy this place but I am not a white lady haha we came here for the second time because I needed art supplies and the elderly white women here seemed to follows us from the front desk and possibly I was overreacting a little but then I started to put it to the test so I went isle to isle just to confirm she was at every corner of my eye moving around at the front desk to make sure we were in her view instead of making us uncomfortable come up and see if we need help not make us feel profiled. Do better plaza art!
