Best Art Supply Store Saint Louis Near Me

Spencer Hanning: Lucky to have St.Louis Art supply so close to home! Fantastic options, friendly staff, neat little store.

Shotsy Creates: I ordered online from Germany, and am in love with the products. Love these pastel watercolors so much and the limited edition yintico paint. There was some shipping confusion because I had moved to America, but it got to me in the end. Will be ordering more soon! I hope to visit in person someday!!! Thank you for your prompt costumer service for online orders ❤️🧡💛

Sandi Hague: Excellent products and service

Stephanie Crouch: I have not had the pleasure of visiting their in person location, but their service for online customers is amazing. I have now placed two decent sized orders through them, and not only are their prices more than fair, the shipping is fast and accurate. I've gotten both orders earlier than estimated which is so awesome. I can not recommend these folks enough.

tyler belcher: Selection of great art supplies, and fountain pens (which is what I was looking for). In a bit of a weird spot..

Ashton Cousins: Absolutely PHENOMENAL customer service and extremely fast shipping! My order shipped out an hour after I placed it! It was packaged safely, with an adorable sticker. Don’t hesitate to order from them!

Hanna Wilson: It's February 2023 and the lady said I can't come in without a mask.There was a marker written sign on the window that the lady pointed out after I walked in. Literally 0 other businesses are requiring masks in 2023. Find a new employee who isn't scared. No wonder there were zero customers in there.

Christopher Jarrell: St. Louis Art Supply curates a high-quality and hard-to-find collection of art and office supplies, with a Japanese emphasis. There is something for everyone's budget and taste. My order took longer than expected to ship, but it was perfect. Will definitely shop there again.

sharon phillips: I ordered a few items for my husband for Christmas. A pen, some ink, and a beautiful metal box to store items on his desk. Everything came so beautifully packaged and on time for Christmas. I had a little issue that I messaged them about and they responded right away and sent a replacement. My husband loved everything and was so excited to receive gifts from a small business. Highly recommend!

C. Jay Conrod: A great locally owned art supply store with great prices. If it isn't there it can be ordered, but just about everything I could want is there.

Gemini29 STL: This is a wonderful locally owned art supply store for your art needs.

Marie Sheel: They have a great selection of art supplies - the best of the essentials. The employees are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend St. Louis Art Supply.

Thomas Oliver: Best place in St Louis to get high quality art supplies from a knowledgeable staff of artists and people like minded to the artistic community of our city!

Chef Terri Milligan: Needed an item for a watercolor project and they came up in my Google search with the best price. Their customer service was great! I had accidentally purchased the wrong color on line and sent an email to them. They fixed it promptly and I received my order faster than any of the "big" art online supply stores. Plus they wrote a sweet "thank you" with my name and placed it in the box.

Hallene Darland: Posted nowhere on their website, they are not actually open.It also says they are open for in store pickup on Google. I drove a half hour to check out their supply and on their door it says they are closed.It's inconsiderate and they need to keep in mind that not everybody knows they are closed by word of mouth. Gas is expensive and I even looked at their website before heading over. Nothing about being closed.They don't deserve a bad review because of this. Im sure the store is great. So im giving three stars.

Phillip Clark: Well, they have a new customer.I popped up needing a pen and paper not knowing they are/were contactless, requiring online/curbside orders. I was having difficulties with the website not adding things to the cart, so I gave them a call and someone (I can't remember their name), came out and helped me curbside. They were really quick to help me and I got the pen and paper I needed to write letters.It wasn't just the customer service that I got, but the quality of everything which I saw on the site. In addition, I was told that the majority of things they have available online are available in the store, which is really nice to know for the future.Thanks to whoever it was that helped me in the nasty humid weather.I'll order online next time if I need anything else art-related, which is likely.

Crimm: My first experience there, i didnt realize they were online/pick up only so i made an order on my phone. I called and the gentleman working there was really nice and helpful with my order and picked them right away for me so I didn't have to wait, will definitely be ordering here more often!

Lisa Weigand: I am an online customer and absolutely love St. Louis Art Supply! I've had a custom watercolor pallet made and have purchased other watercolor supplies. Their prices are incredible as is their customer service. I am so happy to have found this company.

Jerry Fischer: Love this web site. Prompt and friendly service. Personalized with hand written thank you.

Matthew Gore: I placed an online order from them, which shipped and was delivered quickly... but I received a wrong item (only 2 items ordered). One of the A4 notebooks that I ordered was a much smaller size (A5 or so). Fine. Mistakes happen. But I emailed them about it on Monday, and then again later in the week, and never heard back. UPDATE: On Friday, I got an email and refund for the mistaken item. I suppose that they're dealing with labor/covid delays like everyone else, so no big deal.

Katherine Caldwell: Had almost everything you could want for drawing, coloring, and painting

Lucy Lu: This whole online price matching scheme is mind baffling. I'm a preferred member, but I always have to put up a fight when I check out. One time I bought a bunch of Luminance pencils and sketchbooks. The pencils are ~$3.50 online, and ~$5.50 in store. I asked for online price matching, which the cashier did. But the matching wasn't done for the sketchbook (mind you that they take pride on their system being "correct" so no adjustments are required). The sketchbooks turned out to be 40% more expensive than what they have online. I reminded the cashier and she was like "oh yeah I'll do price match for this item as well". This makes me very uncomfortable - they only price match when questions were raised, and customers who don't know their policy very well can easily get charged an insane price for products they buy.Also no matter how much stuff you buy in store, even with web match they ALWAYS charge you for shipping (I know, it doesn't make any sense). However, if you order stuff online, shipping is usually free when you buy more than $69.I love supporting local businesses and brick and mortar stores, but if this is the trick they pull on customers to keep the stores alive, I'll go to Amazon instead.

Gene Miller: Great options for various supplies and the staff are friendly.

Curt Balding: Store associate Eleana(?) Was polite and very helpful with a picture frame project I have planned

Fatema Khwaja: Went here on Saturday for my framing appointment, it was my first time coming to Blick. I went to the framing department of the store. I waited patiently for my turn. The guy that was working there was named Tim, he was finishing up with another client and then looked at me and said "Emily?" I was like "No, I'm Fatema." he said "Do you have an appointment?" I said "Yes I do, I made the appointment with your manager Tom", he continued to say that he does not see me in the book at all. but asked how he could help, I told him I wanted a glass frame and he said that those were an online only type of deal. He didn't even give me a minute to explain myself until I cut him off. Since the glass frame was online only, I asked him about printing a photo for me . "You need to set up an appointment for that" he said. Like I already didn't??I thought. I thanked him and left. I walked up to the cashier to see if they could order the frame online for me and I also asked them to see if Tom was in (the manger) so I could see if he booked me or not. They said that he wasn't in that day so they offered to help me. They checked there computers and saw that I actually did have an appointment and it was by the name "Satema" rather than Fatema. They told me it was misspelled which is understandable. The guy I had talked to was very nice and patient with me. he told me to walk back and talk to Tim again and tell him that I have an appointment. When I got back to the framing department I saw that he was with another customer. I waited patiently for ten minutes. Once he was done with the other customer he didn't even acknowledge me or even look my way to help me. he was just standing there. then the guy from the cashier's desk came and talked to him and told him I had an appointment. Tim didn't apologize about the misunderstanding/ communication, but proceeded to say "what do you want help with?". I told him how I wanted to print out the photo again. he told me to send it to him. As I did that, he immediately told me that pictures would not look good because its not a raw file, even though I sent him the raw file from the photographer's email. And the he went on about how photos are suppose to be and the resolution blah blah blah, Its like he was trying to talk me out of it so he wouldn't give the time to help me out. When I watched him help out the other two customers before me he seemed very energetic and in a good mood but when it came to me he treated me as if I was a child that didn't know anything. Horrible experience. Won't come back. And unfortunately Tim is the only framing guy there.

Tendo Nalyaali: Sky’s customer service is A plus plus plus.

marta adamiv: I love it

Josh McClelland: Great art supply store. Plenty of color options, friendly/helpful staff, in a convenient location. Definitely recommend for ALL your art supply needs.

SuperFlawless9: Amazing staff that tries to give you the best prices on art supplies they possibly can.

L.E. Beck: Well organized, brightly lit, staff was friendly but not too pushy. They let us browse in peace.

DAN PROFFITTE: THE PLACE IS GREAT AND A GREAT STAFF TO.

Patrick Shansey: Large selection, clean and respectful of CDC guidelines. Staff was knowledgeable and helpful. I recomend this to anyone looking for art supplies. Also a fun atmosphere.

Daniel Patrick: Big disappointment........ won't go there again.

Vince Hart: This place is amazing. If you need inspiration, or supplies, it's a must do store for art supplies. Ask for Bob, and if you need any local area information he will hook you up.

J: Nice but very expensive

Jon Fincher: Great art store in a great location. I would willingly drive another 100 miles to find a store this packed with supplies.

Hope Burdette: Fantastic selection and helpful staff! I start every semester with a road trip to the nearest Blick. Love how this company takes care of their employees!

Alan Dennis, Baron of Cowie: Great art supply store

Anime Ayanna: A lot of great art materials that I can't find in person in most places. I will be visiting many more times.

Robert Bierer: Most items cleared out, getting ready for the new business.

Kathy Hart: Sad closing

Robert Jackson: Hate to see them go. Been shopping here for 20+ years.

Margot Pratt: so unique! so sad to see it being taken over

Garneau Weld: I love this place and the quality of service which is unparalleled from LA to New York. It has been around almost forever. I believe I do remember when it was founded and it was kind of the new kid on the block. True to its creed, Art Mart is an art mart serving all levels and disciplines of artistic creation. We shall see what happens during the transfer, but in the meantime, I bought a whole bunch of art supplies as a reintroduction to the world of creative expression. You should too! G.

Gloria Brooks: Feels like an artistic candy store. A one stop shop venue. Loved you can find a gift for someone who appears to have everything. Lots of 40% off. Going back for Xmas gifts!

Barbara Chappuis: Great selection and service!

Andy Holman: Great customer service!

Leyla Rose Bland: Too many awesome things in here. I could spend all my money 😂I love this place!!

Robert Anderson: If artwork is your thing than you know art mart is the place to go. However, it is the customer service that makes the difference. The girls have always gone the extra mile to assist and they offer a student discount that saves my daughter hundreds this year alone!

Farah Habli: I love this place, it has all what an artist needs.

origami (Origamigirl11): I love artmart. My only critique is that they are a bit limited on the mixed medias side. But if you need any kind of paper or paint they have you covered.

Alan Barasch: Looking for that crazy pen or paint? Artmart probably has it and the staff knows where it's hidden.

SuperFlawless9: This place has extremely helpful staff and an amazing amount of supplies for all kinds of artist! Will support this local business again sometime!

Suzi Eberly: The sales associate who helped frame our painting was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Marie P-R Koehlinger: I currently live in a far western state and have missed this awesome store! The people are attentive, friendly AND KNOWLEDGEABLE!!!! It was fabulous to be back in this store again! It is on my to-do list to visit Artmart to stock up, any time I'm in StL.

C. Jay Conrod: Not the cheapest art supply store in town, but an excellent selection of supplies.

Amy McCauley: Has SO MUCH! I love it.

Laraine: I have shopped here for decades. Now living in Illinois, I stop here every trip back to St. Louis. Paints and brushes, cards, fun and funny gifts, children’s crafts, books, and always a knowledgeable, friendly staff.

Kerica Williams: OMGeeeeee this place has EVERYTHING you can imagine for arts & crafts, painting, etc!! I’ve slept on Artmart for years…my bad!

Mikayla L.: Quiet, easily accessible store, under stocked but quiet a pleasant location. Always check the back of the store for clearance!

Alessandra Abate: They have everything you need for crafting needs

Mr. and Mrs. Linnenbom: Rude clerks who have no time for customers. They really need customer training there badly. We'll never shop there again, that's for sure! What a sad, dismal lot of employees! The morale is deplorable.

Monica H: Had what we were looking for and it was on sale. Checkout went quick.

Grace Teague: Frustrating that the inventory is not up to date at all. Not sure why it's difficult to get an accurate inventory when everything is online, but I ended up only getting half of what I wanted despite checking inventory and placing a pickup order before leaving - not wasting my time driving to other stores, just order online.

Curt Balding: It has everything you could possibly expect from a fabric supply store.

Suzie irwin: Worst customer service. Went for an item that it said they had online. Couldn’t find the item, asked an employee for help and was told it is in the back and to check back next week. Called and talked to manager, Gabby, and she basically told me to order it online.

Terry Leible: Use your coupons to get the best deals.

Steve (Burnindaylight): Big store with small prices, Huge fabric selections and all types of sewing accessories. A perfect one stop sewing shop. You can even use their website to check in store availibility. Using their website plus your imagination does make it an one stop shop.

Kimberly Teague: Cute store. Such cool crafts

Laurel Wagner: The fabric selection was great and the cutter was helpful.

Precious Dela Rosa: I showed up well before close time, and the store was empty and closed when I arrived. Please adhere to your scheduled hours. If you want to go home at a different time, list that as your hours. Change the time on your door and Google. And then close at that time. Not a different time. I’m not trying to tell you what your operating hours should be, I’m just saying be open when you say you’re gunna be open.

Patsy Barnett: It's OK. Prices are high. I asked 2 staff members for spray glue. Each told me a different area, I didn't find it in either place.

cathy spengemann: Things are pretty pricey these days. This store has a lot of merchandise. Employees friendly but I did not have coupons!

Daniel Barnes: Halloween stock was low. Crafts are nice.

Shona Phillips: Their Quilting & Cosplay fabric sections have increased quite a bit, fun to see! Prices have stayed relatively the same, even better to see!!

Ross Just a guy: Nice store, nice people

Shannon O’Keefe: Staff was very helpful when I couldn’t find what I needed!

Emmy Dimes: These 5 stars are for Demarco! Thanks for the convo during check out and staying positive! Enjoy your frozen dinner, hope your break comes soon!Demarco needs a raise

Mike “pİMpİŃ sR.” oX'BiG: Had an issue with a return and thought it would be hard but they made it an easy experience for us and it ended up working great

Liz Kelly: Got a custom frame quote for a 24x36 poster with single mat, plexiglass, and simple black frame. $2,014.46. But with 65% off it's only $702.46! Took it to The Great Frame Up store and had professional service for a double matted, glass insert and simple frame for $375. Their sales are meant to deceive.

Sara: They never seem to have what I need. And when I asked about something I couldn’t find I said “do you know if you have that?” And she didn’t really seem to know.. did not help me look or look it up/ask someone else. She was okay with saying she was unsure. There were 3 employees and only one on register, with a line forming.Hobby Lobby has a much larger selection to choose from. Not sure about other Michaels.

banjaluka7: Needed a plain color shirt, got It there, great selection and prices

debkitty williams: Oh goodness where would I start, Michaels is one of my favorite stores ever I may creative artsy-craftsy person always have been very meticulous and this store has everything you could ever imagine and if you can't find it just ask they'll tell you and if you need to order something simple, the prices are not that high I enjoy sharing my projects on social media. The people are amazing, their very polite, they're very helpful and I love to come to Michael's !!

Jean Montgomery: They had the paint I was looking for. I liked the cashier. She helped me with a barcode payment I had on my phone. She warned me that all Michael's stores will soon be remodeled with automated self checkouts like grocery stores. I don't like that. I prefer people checkers, because they help with coupons and app barcode or phone email barcode payments. I find that there's always something that needs assistance during checkout there.

Drake O'Dell: Nice and quiet store

Explorers: They did a great job with the frame, but the waiting time and follow up is laughable.We got a frame done that was supposed to be a gift and the person at the desk had informed us that there may be a delay by a week at the most. We were fine with it, but it's been a month of waiting and there is zero update. We call them and the person says it's ready for pickup! Wait, what?! We went there and all they say is the store's policy is to call only once and let the frame sit for as long as six months. Doesn't this sound ridiculous? They never called to begin with, but there was not a single follow up for a whole month? Would recommend Michaels, but not this one for sure.

Lauren Lee: Ample parking

Jerry South: Great product selection without supporting the hate agenda of Hobby Lobby

Bobbie Petot: Always friendly and helpful. Easy to find items, organized and clean.

Leone Shurn (Designs by Leone): Everyone so friendly.

Mitzie Baker: Found the perfect flowers for my moms and sisters sites

Ollie Seals: Usually can find something to buy because I'm creative & ❤️ new ideas

Barbra anne Piper: Girl at the register was great, there was some issue but you wouldn't have known by the way she just flowed with it. Super sweetWish the yarn selection was better, but I've been running into that a lot lately so no fault of their own. It is a smaller store, but it's the closest Michael's so you get what you get and deal with it

Patty Vergano: Great prices and a wonderful selection of craft items and decor. Love it‼️

Dawn Rouggly: Love all their decorations for Valentine's day

Ryan Griffore: We wait for the sales and discounts to get our frames. However the cost of inflation has made custom framing ridiculously overpriced.

Drew Mantia: Had exactly the pictures frame sizes I was looking for

Sandra Rocio Alba Rosas: You can find whatever you need, is a very nice place.
